Resin vat drain stand made from drill press stand

thingiverse

I needed a better vat drain stand, the all 3D printed ones just weren't strong and stable enough. So I made one from one of the cheap drill press stands available just about everywhere (Amazon affiliate link below). I then created the necessary parts to hold the vat and funnel and even a correct sized funnel. The vat holder is designed for the QidiTech Shadow 5.5s but will fit almost any vat with a thickness of 30mm or less. I've included the Fusion 360 files to make it easier to mod if necessary. I printed the parts on an Ender 3 using PolyMaker PolyTerra PLA filament, support is required for the vat holder and funnel holder, but not for the funnel. If you want a complete rundown of how I did this please watch the attached video. https://youtu.be/dkod8iiOP7k
