3D Printer Tuning & issues...

New question….
I got an elegoo Saturn & poked a hole in the fep film. I need to replace the protective film & tape over the lcd screen.
Looks like the film could be replaced with a clean piece of fep film with thin electrical tape - am I on the right track?

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but you can't use electrical tape on the FEP because it will block the light. I don't have a Saturn but why would you want to tape over the LCD screen?

Not tape over the screen itself, taping a piece of clear plastic over the screen to protect it

Perhaps that may work. I'm wondering why the manufacturers don't do that themselves. Maybe it's like when you get a smart phone you can't get a screen protector from the manufacturer but have to buy one from a third party.

You may want to test if curing is affected. Could an extra layer of clear plastic affect the transmission of the light?
