I just got my Elegoo Saturn about a week ago and have been gathering all the supplies needed. I haven't even used it yet. Today, I accidentally made a small nick in the screen (just the polarizer?). The surface is no longer 100% flat and it can be felt through the FEP sheet in the vat.

At some point, after I have been able to use the printer for a while, I might try to replace the polarizer if it isn't too much of a PITA.
Replacing just the polarizer layer would be a major PITA--also I doubt that just that layer is available. You'll need to replace the entire screen--just wait 'til it wears out after 350 to 400 hours of printing.
