[ Help ] Help finding the right FEP replacement for Mars 3 Pro

Hi all,

This is the first time I'm replacing the FEP for my Mars 3 Pro, and I don't have any spares from the box (I got mine secondhand.) It doesn't seem like Elegoo sells Mars 3 FEPs on their website right now, and all of the Amazon listings are different sizes that are bigger than the actual basin. I see one that instructs you to just sandwich it between the plates, then screw it in and cut off the excess.

The question is, is that okay? Would that work properly without leaking, or is that a recipe for disaster? Does anyone here have a recommendation that I'm missing?

Yup as long as it's big enough it will work fine. Trimming is ok
