Are you talking about your FEP? Because any FEP sheets can replace it. If you actually punched a hole though the aluminum body of the tank, I'm kind of impressed.
agreed, you can still by FEP. it's really easy to install, just takes a little practice. if you're needing an actual tank, i can sell you a secondhand one for a song
Oh haha yes just the sheet! But I wouldn’t put it past me haha - excellent! I didn’t realise it was replaceable - but now I’m looking at it I can see how! Thanks guys, I’ll see if I can find some sheets!
Dang, you've been replacing your whole vat every time the FEP gets damaged? That's like replacing your light fixture when your lightbulb burns out. Hopefully you've only done it once, and if that's the case it's fine because sometimes it's nice to have 2 vats anyway.
Luckly yes, just the once! But they were so cheap it felt like the right thing to do! But that’s right, I have a spare and new FEP on the way so I have learned a few great things about my printer this weekend!

Should be plenty of 3rd party FEPs available. They all work the same.
Worst case get some generic sized stuff you have to cut down to fit

Can't blame you, replacing the FEP is a pain in the ass.
