In case this helps someone else and further to my previous post.
I was left with this on the fep after every successful print but my LCD didn't seem bad, no spots, nice v and even.
After much head scratching I reasoned that my LCD (which was over a year old) could have degraded so it wasn't going entirely black after and exposure this causing a shadow.
That was exactly the case should you have something similar! New LCD no issue anymore!

As a bonus the quality improved afterwards, I hadn't realised it had got worse as it happened over time...

yea thats good life from a screen over a year. mine is a couple years old now. the only time i ever had something like that was from light getting into the unit. since i covered the panels i have not had the problem.

photon - S? do you have a link to where you bought the LCD?

Having seen the difference in quality I'll be changing it periodically whether it's failed or not!

How many hours did you have on your screen (approximately)?

I wouldn't like to hazard a guess... I can tell you it's had 14 litres of resin printed on it though!

Basically a litre a month!

The link you posted is to an Elegoo Mars replacement screen. Do the mars in the photon use the same screen? I mean I know all of their stats are the same, but do they have the same connector at the end of the ribbon cable?

It's made by Elegoo but the title states fits photon. The connectors are different but the screen comes with an adaptor. It fits and works perfectly.

really good to know. On the US Amazon site there is a big price difference between the two.

I got one of these as hell of a job coping with the fact that the ribbon cable hasn't got the curve in the end.

I just put a loop out the side where it comes down from the LCD then it lined up resonably well!

prints are still okay, but need to clean fep after each print ( so far 3 rounds with this issue)

Sounds identical to my issue. Mine was fine until about 3 rounds before I gave up and changed the LCD.

That’s actually the first sign I know I’ve got a screen replacement to do. Running my photons 24/7 I usually start to get that at around the 4-6 month range....so you got way more than I have, but then again my machines really aren’t ever even turned off

This is happening to me after only 4 months of ownership... Wondering if I should just go for it

anyone know which LCD to order for the photon-S?
