SLA Resin Tetrahedron Tea Bag Filter

thingiverse

This is a simple cut off hollow tetrahedron to use (tetrahedron) tea bags as filter for your resin. Intended for small remainders of resin that would mostly be wasted in a bigger filter. When I came up with this idea I had the plastic mesh luxury tea bags in mind but I've tested it with paper tetrahedron tea bags and that worked fine. I've even used only half a tea bag so it's possible to do two filterings with only one tea bag. You can see in the picture it took some debris out and hardly any resin is wasted in the tea bag. I've printed the tetrahedron in vase mode, so it hardly used any filament and took 9 minutes to print. It should print fine on a resin printer too, but that will probably take a bit longer. PETG would be my choice of material.
