Vapor Bath

thingiverse

This tray/cup is designed to be an non chemically reactive acetone chamber for doing ABS vapor baths. I used PETG, however, I believe you can achieve the same results with PLA. The tray includes a ridge that the cup sits into so that any excess acetone can run off the paper towel without damaging your ABS print. This is good for any ABS print under 14 cm in diameter and up to 20 cm tall. The cup I printed was stopped at 13cm as that is enough room for what I typically print. Be sure to make the cup single walled so that it prints faster and you can stop the print at any time without losing a finished top. Instructions on how to do this in Cura can be found in the print settings. Edit: After my second use, I learned that the single wall of PETG will warp from use. I plan to reprint it using PLA to see if it holds up better. If not, printing the full original design rather than single wall will hold up to the vapor bath using PLA or PETG, you just sacrifice a good amount of plastic and print time. That being said, you can still stop it at any desired height, it just won't have the finished appearance along the brim.
