How To Replace Fep Nfep With Perfect Tension All The Time

How To Replace Fep Nfep With Perfect Tension All The Time
Some user experience fail print right after they change to new fep,
it usually causes by loose fep.
All you need is adhesive tape, that's all. LOL
and use a decent allen key to avoid stripping the screw.
with such tension like in the video when replace fep, you can use lower lift distance, which means shorter print time.
keep in mind, this method is only for resin tank that has 1 gasket and cannot clamp the fep.
if you have resin tank with dual gasket that can clamp fep, use bottle cap method.

That's exactly how I change my nFEP film. Except I torque down the screws as if I were torquing down the head of a car engine. Start from the centre and work your way out left and right in a cross pattern. Great video, keep up the good work!

[@oscargreguol3339]

This video is by far the best method I have seen for this, thank you so much

[@Bledoston]

This is my favourite 3d printing channel.

[@wangdennys]

Thank you

[@bbigboy01]

Totally agree with you rick, having put on several engine head gaskets!

thanks for sharing, i have to change my Fep soon and i will try this... thx

Thanks for sharing Dennys, quick and clever way to replace it!keep it up!

That, Sir, is a thing of beauty! Thank you.

Welcome

[@peterespada6226]

Followed your instructions, worked perfectly. Thanks!

[@abandonall8327]

Thank you Mr wang

[@mackbolan1733]

Great video...almost identical to how I do my nFEP, except I've never used tape...I will from now on though as your rationale makes perfect sense. At the end of the process, I also poke holes through the nFEP where the two holes fit over the bolts when placing the vat on the printer.

[@wangdennys]

Some people dissagree with this They said it will be too tight and creates fail print. But print result shows otherwise. 😆

[@mackbolan1733]

@@wangdennys Yes, you have some amazing print results. I've actually just right now completed changing to a new nFEP using this method and will do a print later tonight once the weather cools down a bit and we can turn the air-con off and open the windows and doors. It is definitely a tighter nFEP tension than what I normally have, but really interested in seeing how it goes :)

[@Angel___00888]

Congrats! Looks perfect!

[@wangdennys]

Man. I though someone was angry in the comment. But when i check again, it is the user name 🤣. Nice one!!!!

[@artofscorpia9981]

thank you bro

[@ArchaeusAzoth]

Genius! Thanks for the perfect tip!

[@ArchaeusAzoth]

Hey, do you have any experience changing the fep on a uniformation gk2? Any ideas on how I can keep tension on a very thin frame? It's almost 2d, there are no side walls to tape it to. 3 fails so far. Great video, if you don't have time or interest, no worries I'm sure you have a busy life. Thanks for the tip, I'll work with it and let you know if I figure something out. 🤞✌️

[@CuttinInIdaho]

You are awesome. Thank you:)

[@Angel___00888]

The tape is a good idea!

[@landfallstudio3482]

Would you recommend this method when replacing the FEP on the Photon M3 Max?

[@anti-moonews4544]

His arms are so smooth

[@katonsetiawan6827]

damn, never thought about this lol, nice trick bro

[@wangdennys]

Thank you

[@yuishimokawa2619]

Looks easy & clean trick … it’ll be very useful for a single gasket type resin tank like my LD-002H … but, I’ll stick to my electric screwdriver, I don’t want to tire my right hand by tightening the screws manually … :p

[@wangdennys]

dayum... i gotta try electric screwdriver never thought of it.

[@Aveltro]

And another great video! Thanks! One question: do you prefer a specific brand of fep? I.d like to buy some spare feps for my elegoo3, but so many choices. Cheers!

[@wangdennys]

Nope, no specific brand. All pretty much work the same.

[@tompug5736]

Hi Denys, I did this but it seems that the FEP is now too tight (Phrozen Sonic Mini regular) - Should I be giving the FEP more slack with a bottle cap or something? I am getting failed prints due to a too tight FEP. Thanks!

[@Secondrunnerup613]

That's what you need to do!!!

[@daviddelgado5954]

Great video! I tried to change the FEP on my Mono X but when I was installing it I lost one of the tiny screws that hold the FEP between the two aluminum frame pieces. Do you know where can I get those?

[@wangdennys]

Dont forget to add spacer for your fep. In most hardware store should have the same screw

[@oscargreguol3339]

Also, have you heard of the geeetech alkaid? I just got one and there is no information on it anywhere

[@wangdennys]

Sorry, no idea what is that

[@apalloe]

Just used this method and knew it was perfect when I blew on it and heard that beautiful hummm

[@wangdennys]

LOL Nice tips "Blew on the fep" hahahaha

[@apalloe]

Yeah I kind of like testing a drum to make sure it's taught lol I can't be the only person that does this LOL

[@GG-od2tr]

Never use tape Denny's it leaves so much rubbish behind, this is just my thought. Maybe print an outside collar that sleeves the vat and allows a toleration of calculated annular. (maybe make the model and only gift the model to patrons and such)

[@wangdennys]

It is an idea that can always be develop further, And yours is also a good one.

[@dogm40]

8:03 OUCH. where do you get your FEP sheets from? and what scraper do you recommend. Thanks Denny :D

[@wangdennys]

Scraper for what may i ask? I bought fep at my local store.

[@zachprice3279]

I have a Halot One and with the tape on I couldn't get the screws started no matter how hard I pushed down on the retaining ring. I had to pull the tape off at each spot as I was trying to get each screw started. After I got the corners going I took the rest of the tape loose.

[@wangdennys]

That is also good

[@ebanksstudios]

How do you avoid it being too tight? I've changed mine twice now but its too tight which too much suction in print

[@wangdennys]

Tightness doesnt affect suction. If you think your fail due to suction, that usually means wrong orientation or lack of drain hole or slightly underexpose

[@ebanksstudios]

@@wangdennys oh, I was having perfect prints before I changed the fep also I meant pulling force not suction

[@wangdennys]

@@ebanksstudios usually after change fep That is because different fep quality. Usually just readjust your exposure will fix it. Try my exposure tester on the super easy calibration video.

[@ebanksstudios]

@@wangdennys Ok, thank you!

[@mcride1]

So there is no need on bigger print plates (like mono X) for special "bottle cap" on the middle of FEP when tightening screws?

[@wangdennys]

This method is for resin tank with single gasket. For dual gasket like mono x people still recommend bottle cap.

[@MrBigshnizzle78]

Great idea. Now trim that coke nail 🤣

[@wangdennys]

Already trim my left hand nail. I left right hand nail for "delicate" work for my nose 🤣

[@arthurfish3]

What nfep brand do you use?

[@wangdennys]

No particular brand. Bought it from aliexpress.

[@jfhiramia606]

Having dent on fep is normal? This is my problem that's why when i was print my project stuck in film

[@wangdennys]

That is normal

[@dumbcat]

i don't use any FEP at all. after my printer was fried from leaking resin i haven't had a single failed print

[@putrayopie88]

beli nfep dmn om?

[@wangdennys]

Cek deskripsi video gan

[@HavoCentral]

why do so many tutorials put a bottle cap or something under the fep?

[@wangdennys]

People said fep can be too tight if installed without spacer and causes fail print etc. And they just copy paste other tutorial. But i am still using the same fep since this video up till now on my printer. And no fail, no puncture, no nothing. LOL And been doing this method for the last 2+ years I will work on another follow up video for this method too when it's time to replace the same resin tank fep. My guess is it can still go for another month with daily printing.

[@testboga5991]

For all the fanboys in the comments: nFEP is inferior to FEP under practical conditions. It lasts a bit longer and that's about it. Pull forces are higher and print success for delicate models lower.

[@michaelnoardo3315]

are you sure that NFEP is inferior ?

[@KingUsyk]

​@@michaelnoardo3315it's not, pull forces are lower and it's a lot tougher. OP has 0 clue
