Extended Vat + Funnel Stand (Mars + Photon)

thingiverse

First off, thank you True_Scott for sharing a great design! I printed and used it successfully several times before receiving my Sovol stainless strainer/funnel (https://www.amazon.com/Sovol-Stainless-Double-Strainer-Printing-Photosensitive/dp/B082PMJ2ZM) and realising it wasn't quite big enough. So basically this version has been extended by 20mm to accommodate a larger diameter funnel without it fouling on the V-slot rail. As i also wanted to use it to filter my IPA from my wash and cure into a tall bottle, i was finding the original base a little unstable with a long rail. So i have also included files for a Large and Extra Large base plate. The extra large being the most stable as it also extends back 30mm from the vertical. All still have the recess for rubber/silicon feat. The larger bases also should accommodate 1L resin bottles in the recess. The Large may not be quite right for Anycubic 1L but does fit eSun. The X_Large should fit both. The vat holder fits both my Elegoo Mars Pro aluminium vat and the Sovol aluminium vat i use in my Photon Mono. As for assembly, M5x16mm bolts and nuts are used in the back of the extrusion cut outs. Depending on the tolerances of your printer, you may need to heat the cut outs to soften your filament to fit over the rail as well as trimming any significant lips. I found that using a heat gun to fit them was a nice snug fit and i dont even need to tighten the bolts. Hopefully this is helpful to someone! Cheers.
