FEP films – optimal printing surface for resin models
In this category, you will find FEP films that you need for your SLA or DLP printers. These films lie at the bottom of the resin tank and help to release prints cleanly. You can quickly replace them and thus avoid contamination or print failures.
Why FEP films are so important
Protection and long durability
FEP films form the separating layer between resin and build plate. Therefore, you protect the tank. Also, prints can be lifted much easier – this protects the device.
Consistent print quality
If the film is damaged or dirty, print quality suffers. Therefore, regular replacement is worthwhile to get fine structures and full layer adhesion.
Easy replacement
The films can be changed without tools. You place them on the resin tank, stretch them – done. This way, you are quickly ready to print again, even if something breaks.
Popular variants and tips
Standard FEP for SLA/DLP
Suitable for most printers. It offers good transparency and consistent layer thickness. This ensures models work reliably in everyday situations.
High-quality, coated variants
These films are more robust and scratch-resistant. If you do many print runs or print sharp-edged parts, the investment is worth it. They also last longer.
Replacement sets with tools
Some sets include tensioners, screws, and cleaning wipes. So you get everything you need directly in the package and save time during installation.
Usage notes
Replace FEP films if you see visible scratches, discoloration, or loose resin areas.
Clean the film carefully with isopropanol – this extends its lifespan.
Make sure the tension is smooth when stretching – wrinkles cause print errors.
Use a clear FEP film for transparent resin to get full resolution.
