FEP , Non-FEP is not working for Nextdent 5100 resin tray ?

[lilcherry]

Hi guy,
I broke up my Nextdent 5100 resin tray membrane. The original one is too expensive.
I tried FEP, n-FEP from EPAX x1 but is not working. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

How inexpensive are the ones that don't work?

$630... What a joke!!

Just FYI, Mcmaster-Carr is great for buying FEP film in large quantities: https://www.mcmaster.com/products/fep/clear-slippery-high-temperature-fep-film/
it'll cost you a buck or two to replace the bottom film this way if you can figure out how to disassemble the tray without damaging components. This is only easy with printers designed to have their FEP user-replaced, like you get with hobby-tier Phrozen etc printers. Dental printers are a lot trickier, you can in theory replace the film on Asiga trays, but disassembling them is a huge pain.

Phrozen, $30.00 for the FEP, 120. for the tray with the FEP on Amazon.
