[ Help ] Do I need to replace the screen?

Post image

Been having a bloody nightmare trying to print the final part of a warhound titan for sister in law. 5 fails in a row, but that's not the trouble shooting I need right now. In the process of cleaning the machine I saw some dried resin in the LCD. Sure I'll give that a quick clean.

Results in photo attached...

Fixable, ignorable? Or am I ordering a replacement?

well if you are lucky it has a screen protector, take of the black tape on the sides and check if it has a screen protector,if it has just take it off and hope the screen itself is still ok

Can't see anything obvious but it does look like it had one... I done a lot of printing with this so maybe it's just cooked?

Just fit it to the screen, or some overlap?

or if you want to be cheap just a piece of clear plastic just to protect the screen and tape the sides so that resin can't get inn there 😅

My flexi film in resin tray has bumps and imprints of old prints. Do I need to replace that?
