3D Printer Accessories

Essential accessories for resin 3D printing, often found in a complete 3D printer kit, include a resin tank, film module, LCD screen, release film set, build platform, and glass LCD screen protector. These components ensure smooth operation, high-quality prints, and the longevity of your printer. Additional tools like cleaning kits, UV curing stations, and replacement parts are also valuable for maintaining your printer and achieving consistent results.

To store 3D printer accessories resin tanks and films properly, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and UV exposure. Ensure the resin tank is cleaned thoroughly and dried before storage to prevent residue buildup. Films should be stored flat and protected from dust or scratches.

You should replace the release film when you notice signs of wear such as cloudiness, deep scratches, reduced print adhesion, or frequent print failures. For regular use, this typically means every 20 to 50 prints, depending on the model size and print conditions.

Replace the LCD screen if you notice dead pixels, uneven curing, or visible damage such as cracks or scratches. Reduced print quality, such as missing details or failed prints, can also indicate a failing LCD screen. Regularly checking the screen for wear and replacing it when needed ensures optimal printing performance.

A release film set is a 3D printer accessory that typically includes FEP or similar films used in the resin tank. These films are essential for ensuring that cured resin layers release smoothly from the tank during printing. A high-quality release film set improves print success rates and reduces failures.

Whether you’re replacing an old part or upgrading components in your 3D printer kit, follow these steps to install a new film module of HeyGears:

• Remove the Old One: First, loosen the screws on the release film frame one by one and remove the old release film module.
• Position the New Film: Pre-tighten a screw, then the screw on the opposite edge. Then repeat all the screws. After all screws are pre-tightened, tighten all the screws. Then paste the NFC tab flat.
• Check the Position: The frame of the release film unit should be level with the resin tank frame.

With HeyGears 3D printers, replacing the release film is fast and user-friendly. You simply loosen the screws, remove the old film module, and install the new one—no need to stretch or reassemble the film manually.

In contrast, many other resin printers require users to disassemble the metal frame and manually stretch the film over it, which is more time-consuming and error-prone.

Signs that your LCD screen needs replacement include dead pixels, uneven UV light distribution, visible cracks, or scratches. If prints start failing consistently or show missing details, it may indicate a damaged or worn-out LCD screen. It's advised to contact the HeyGears technical support team for help. Replacing the screen promptly restores print quality and prevents further issues.
