Is Using PTFE Lubricant on the Resin Vat of a 3D Printer Useful?
I am new to resin print and so far, it’s been a real learning experience. I have had a devil of a time keeping the FEP film at the bottom of the resin vat on my Photon S clean and scratch-free. Because of that, I’ve been watching a lot of resin printer cleaning tips videos. In a number of them, they recommend using PTFE lubricant to protect the FEP.
Do readers here have any experience using this? Is it worth it?
In this True Elite Geek video, he recommends it. There are also some useful tips here, like using disposable microfiber cloths for cleaning.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I have been using ETFE (Tefzel) film in my 3D printer, and I think there is a slight performance improvement over FEP. At the very least, it works fine!
