Resin filtering scoop for SLA printers

thingiverse

Update: New Version of Scoop Features Rounded Edges to Prevent Damage to FEP. This Improved Design Can Be Printed on an SLA Printer with or without Supports, Tailored to Fit the Anycubic Photon. I Created This Scoop Specifically to Retrieve Cured Resin Bits from My Anycubic Photon Vat Without Having to Drain and Filter It. The Scoop is Approximately the Size of a Spatula and Functions Like a Sieve. The Scoop is Divided into Two Parts, Making it Easier to Glue Together After Printing. While It Could Be Printed as One Piece, This Approach Allows for Optimal Layer Orientation and Print Settings for Each Component. The First Part of the Scoop is Made Up of a Solid Model with Holes Created by Infill. Key Print Settings Include Zero Top and Bottom Layers, Three Perimeters, and 30% Honeycomb Infill for Strength. The Second Part, the Handle, Uses Zero Infill and Six Perimeters to Ensure Its Structural Integrity. While Exact Print Settings Are Less Crucial for This Component, They Should Be Strong Enough to Withstand Normal Use. I Successfully Printed a Test Object from PLA, but Plan to Reproduce It in Nylon for Enhanced Chemical Resistance.
