Great video! You explained this better than the company that makes the printer. Very on point and in depth with a great camera view. Thanks again!

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Thank you very much. And thank you for checking out the video :)

I would really like to thank you. After dealing with the Ender 3 V2 model for 3 years, I bought the Anycubic Mono X6 k resin Printer. After the feb film was broken, I was a little panicked because of the screens, but thanks to your video, I replaced it in one go. Thank you very much.

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Thank you for stopping by and checking out the video. And thank you for the kind comment. I am glad it was helpful in resolving your problem.

[@homecmng1]

Thanks so much. You were much more informative than other videos I’ve seen. You are the only video I’ve seen that bothers to explain why you need a bottle cap 😅

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Thank you very much and I am glad you enjoyed the video!!

Thanks Schuh!

Funny question, but what bottle cap did you use? I have the same printer and I destroyed the polarizing filter. I bought a new one but have to install it, just working up the energy. Mrs. Maker keeps hounding me to get it done as we need it for some Halloween parts.

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

I used a 16 ounce Dr. Pepper cap of course lol. Yes and you must fix it soon Halloween isn't too far off.

[@TheMakersCave]

@@HobbyLinkInternational I need it for the Supernatural Impala Halloween build which she is on my back about starting. She runs a tight ship, she has all my builds on a large production chart with deadline dates.

I see the "Tune your FEP to a specific frequency" a lot. Do you also do that?

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

No I never tuned the FEP. The method I use is the same way Anycubic said to change the FEP. Tuning the FEP always seemed like an odd practice to me. The only special thing I used was the bottle cap.

[@nicholasta9499]

How did you know how tight you wanted the FEP sheet? Other videos do frequency but I don't think anyone can agree on a number since everyone is using different mats / audio analyzer apps

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

I learned from watching the anycubic video. They didn't tune their fep at all. I just went step by step what they did.

[@nicholasta9499]

@@HobbyLinkInternational same! It was a very nice video, I was not sure if I was supposed to tighten the screws all the way or enough where it's all even past hand tight.

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

@@nicholasta9499 I stopped tightening as soon a felt bottom. So far so good :)

[@nicholasta9499]

@@HobbyLinkInternational ah.. thanks for the reference. So there's still room for me to tighten but it's more than a two finger touch. The FEP is pretty tight already where it has some give but not totally taught. I think I'll just have to do a test print 🤷

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

@@nicholasta9499 isn't 3d printing so much fun lol. Mine is pretty tight the nice thing is a hear more of a peel off the fep than a pop.

[@davinflateau4266]

Great video! But when I did this, the bottle cap scuffed the FEP a bit. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I start over?

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

I haven't had it scuff up the FEP. How bad is it? Eventually there will be markings in the FEP it should be ok as long as it isn't too hazy.

[@whoa6375]

What size are the black screws

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

At work right now when I get home I will take a look.

[@whoa6375]

@@HobbyLinkInternational thank you kindly 🙏

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

@@whoa6375 i pulled out the spare black screws that came with the printer (the larger screws) The have GX 12.9 imprinted on them. Measuring them they are 12mm in length. Fishing around a bit it seems the black ones are m4 12mm screws and the smaller ones are m3 5 mm flat top screws. I hope this helps.

[@whoa6375]

@@HobbyLinkInternational helps immensely thank you 🙏 I just ordered replacements

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

@@whoa6375 awesome :)

[@MarcoNoPolo]

After installing the FEP into the frame, run a pair of scissors around the edge to cut off the excess film. Then install the frame into the vat. It's a lot easier than trimming it off after it's installed. This way you don't scratch the edge of your vat and it's a lot safer.

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Thank you for the tip much appreciated. I did notice I was scratching it.

[@DarksouIjah]

I have zero idea about 3D printing but nice tutorial.

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Thank you :)

[@danamagic1]

Not your proudest fep

[@HobbyLinkInternational]

Lmao no especially my first destroyed one. That was sad.
