IPA Tank Strainer Basket - Resin Wash and Rinse System

thingiverse

I created a basket as part of an affordable two-bucket IPA (isopropyl alcohol) wash system to clean resin prints from my Anycubic Photon using a technique similar to the finishing/wash station supplied with printers such as the Form2. I'm using 3"x5"x4" Snapware brand containers available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0145QW5IO or elsewhere, and the object is sized to fit this container exactly. If you want to use a different container, please let me know the interior dimensions and I'll be happy to create a basket of the correct size for you. I need to know the width, height, corner radius of the container bottom (inside dimensions), and the depth of the container. Please check the recommended print settings below which are optimized for speed, strength, and utility. This is a parametric design created in Fusion360; future ideas include recreating the part in OpenSCAD to enable customizing the basket size directly through a Thingiverse app. 4/18/18 Update: The v1 design with thin handles does not print well; however the honeycomb and base print well. I replaced the design with a v2 which includes altered handles positioned at opposite corners, making it possible to print without supports. 5/1/18 Update: I reworked the design to better fit the original containers that I referenced. This design is marked as the 3x5x4 v3. After getting more testing done, I'll mark this as final and upload the source project so people can create custom sizes more easily. 12/29/18 Update: I uploaded the Fusion360 archive file on request. Please post your results if you're successful at adjusting this file for yourself!
