    It is easily scratched by cleaning. Use soft tissue to soak resin when cleaning up the vat, do not aggressively wipe the film as even tissue will scratch it. These micro scratches cause the film to go cloudy. Buffing the film with microfibre cloth will restore some clarity. It is important that the film is kept clear to ensure sharp and detailed prints.
    FEP film needs to be replaced only when it becomes too scratched up or cloudy from use. If it is not replaced your print quality will decline. Replace immediately if it is punctured or torn. If you notice cured resin on your LCD glass, it means the film may have a micro tear.

    Due to the different motherboard, it’s actually a completely different printers. Many of the essential community software and tools that have been developed for the original Photon are not compatible and do not work with the S model.
    The hardware, software and other differences are:
    – Anycubic slicing software instead of Chitu CBD-Tech slicer. Photon-S sliced files cannot be printed on original Photon, and vice versa.
    – 10mm taller print capability on the Z axis.
    – Exposure unit consists of a 38W 4X7 UV LED lensed array instead of a 25W 4X4 UV LED reflector cone source.
    – Plastic shell/chassis instead of all metal stamped steel chassis.
    – Dual “filtration” units instead of a single unit.
    – Most other components such as the LCD, vat, build plate, carriage arm and etc. are the same.
