Elegoo Mars Build Plate Angled Holder

thingiverse

Mars Onboard Build Plate Dripper I like the idea of Mars' supplied device for leaning your build plate while dripping clean, but it requires two hands and takes up valuable space when not in use. So I created this! This file is free to you; all I ask is that you post your photos if you make one on Thingiverse! It mounts directly to your Mars build plate body without obstructing anything. When printing is complete, simply unscrew the top knob, remove the device, and slide it back into position at an angled angle. I printed this design on my Mars using the same orientation and supports as shown in the photos, with great results. I also tested it on an FDM printer, which worked just as well. To assemble this device, you'll need two M4 x 8 or 10 mm length cap screws and two M4 nuts. Here's a handy set (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/2l3a0gx Update V5: I've revised the design based on comments from many contributors. The bracket is now farther to the right, clearing the vat holder of the silver and orange model. The bracket of the hanger is thicker and more robust, with increased tolerance in the barrel. This should accommodate any shrinkage during printing. If you remix this file and it's 50% or more like my original, please leave my logo on the product out of respect. Thank you! I've uploaded my Chitubox file with supports if that helps anyone: mars_head-psd_V5.chitubox. I've also included my sliced file: _mars_head-psd_V5.cbddlp (for Mars with my resins; you may need to adjust for other resins). This is a free file to you; all I ask is that if you love it, please let me know and post your make!
