removing the uv filter - liquid_speaker - 09-20-2020

if one were to remove the uv filter sheet under the tempered glass protection sticker, what would you change the settings in chitubox too and why? if you wouldnt do it at all for any reason, why?

I was not aware there is a "UV filter sheet", nor a "tempered glass protection sticker"--I have a replacement tempered glass panel provided by Elegoo in my hand just now and see no such thing. Do you have a diagram or parts list indicating the UV filter sheet?

I cannot imagine they would install anything that would serve to increase exposure times.

I'm not 100% certain on what is being talked about here... Are you talking about removing the bottom polarizer film?

I wouldn't remove the top one. Not sure if removing the bottom one would help. In a perfect one if you could remove the color filters, that might potentially help, basically making a ghetto monochrome screen, but it seems pretty impossible...

Yeah, I saw that fellow's posts--he mostly screwed up a perfectly good LCD...

Removing the bottom polarizer would of course pass non-polarized light to the crystals, some of which would pass through the crystals and the upper polarizer regardless of the crystals' molecular orientation...
