Help identify the problem please, have had this printer since Oct of last year, printed loads with it and this morning I was able to get a few good prints but early this evening, my print failed on the right hand side, left print came out okay apart from right hand side where it seemed to have fused, thereby loosing details.
I then decided to have a closer look and this is what I found. Lines are appearing on the right hand side during exposure test.
Will I need a new UV and where's the best place to get one from the UK please as I cannot do without my printer
?
hopefully it's an easy install as well.

Have you tried to check if the cable is loose/needs to be seated better?

good point I haven't checked as I haven't moved the printer so didn't think that would be the cause of it. I shall double check anyway in case, thanks

I ordered this one which arrived this pm. I just need to watch a couple of videos now to figure out how to install.

So I’m curious, whats the likelihood that a screen cable would get detached if printer is not moved?
I mean to me based on the OPs statement that he’s had it for about a year, i would have instinctively said his screen was going bad. At a year old I’ve heard of people having to change screens after maybe 6 months.

uhm, I fiddled with the lcd screen on my photon s, I pried it to see if I can easily lift it out, it was quite hard and I couldn't manage it. I then decided to test the lcd again and oddly it seems to be fine, checked it a few times by using the exposure test and it's fine. Will try a print tomorrow and see. No idea why it is suddenly okay?!

I saw a number of posts saying that, and also that it started doing again after a short time. But fingers crossed for you. I found the easiest way to get the screen out was to push it up from the bottom, but there is a lot of dismantling to do that

I double checked, I actually got the printer mid December 2019 so 3 months of heavy use. However my lcd screen appears to be okay at the moment, re-tested it after I tried to pry the screen off without success.

if your screen appears fine now. Is it possible it was just a bad slice?? I’ve been known to get that on rare occasions with a FDM printer.
Wish I could give you advice on screen removal, I’m still on my original screen. I think I’ve heard it’s held in place w/double sided tape.
