简介
Use this guide to replace a warped or stuck print roller in your Polaroid Now+ (Gen 3) camera.
The print roller is responsible for evenly spreading the development chemicals across your instant film photos. If your photos look uneven or have lines, you might need to replace the print roller.
Before replacing the film door, try cleaning the rollers and see if it fixes your problem. It's possible dust and dirt buildup on the rollers is causing uneven photos.
If you're replacing the print roller pre‑installed in its plastic housing (aka the film door) follow this guide.
