Hi everyone, I think I may have damaged my resin 3D printer and I need some advice.
I have an Elegoo Mars 4. Basically, my FEP film got a hole in it and resin leaked underneath the vat. I know I made a mistake by being impatient and dumb: I tried to remove the resin that leaked down using a razor blade and isopropyl alcohol.
It took me a lot of work to remove almost everything, but then I noticed that I seem to have scratched or cracked a layer on top of the screen. I’m not sure what exactly it is. Is this a screen protector, part of the LCD screen, or something else?
I already know I need to replace the FEP, but I’m not sure what to do about the screen area. Can this layer be replaced? Did I damage the actual LCD, or is it likely just a replaceable protector?
Any advice would be really appreciated. I’m attaching photos so you can see what I mean.
