Vat drip holder for Geeetech Alkaid.

Does what it says on the tin - just screw to some wood.

If you don't have a small bit of wood to act as a spacer and have a big funnel, you may want to adjust the length of the strut that attaches the funnel-holding ring to its bracket.

Print Settings

Printer:

Geeetech i3 Pro W

Rafts:

Doesn't Matter

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

0.2 mm/layer

Infill:

15% ish

Filament: Anything cheap PLA

Notes:

These settings are probably pretty flexible. It printed first try for me, although the support fell over. Higher layers of the support managed to stick to it, though, so it was functional by the time it got to the layer it was needed for.

The funnel-holding ring was printed on a Geeetech Alkaid with AnyCubic Basic Grey resin, and came out a little warped due to the angle it was printed at. Apparently, you don't want a flat surface to suddenly appear in a single layer. Settings were:

  • 6 s exposure
  • 45 s bottom exposure
  • 3 mm lift
  • 0.05 mm layer height
  • Automatic medium supports

Post-Printing

Screw to some wood

  1. Get some wood.
  2. Cut it to a sensible size based on the height of your resin bottle and funnel size.
  3. Sand it if you can be bothered.
  4. Neatly drill pilot holes so things sit at right angles.
  5. Countersink if you can be bothered.
  6. Add screws.
