Formlabs Form1+ Vat
Description
This Is A Printable Formlabs Form1+ Printable Vat. I Got Tired Of Having To Buy A $50 Vat Every Time The Pdms Wore Out, So I Designed This So I Could Make My Own. I Attempted To Replace The Pdms In The Existing Commercial Vats, But The Acrylic Frame Was Already Cracked From Repeated Use Which Made It Impossible. I Printed This With 3-4 Perimeters, 0.2Mm Layer Height, 50% Infill Out Of Pla. Do Not Use Abs As It Will Melt With Repeated Uv Resin Exposure. For V1, Add A 1/4" X 5.75" X 6" Piece Of Glass. For V2 (With The Pour Lip), Add A 6Mm X 160Mm X 150Mm Piece Of Glass. Epoxy It In Place And Then Add 65G Sylgard 184 Pdms. Make Sure When You Pour It That It'S Completely Level! Also: You May Have To Fine Tune Your Z-Height, So Please Check This When Using This Vat! V1 Is Very Similar In Appearance To The Stock Form1+ Vat. V2 Has The Tabs Removed And The Exposure Window Spans The Entire Length Of The Vat. With The Tabs Removed, You Can Rotate The Vat 180° If You Prefer To Print On One Particular Side Of The Build Platform. I Have Printed About Two-Dozen Parts On This Vat Design And Have To Say It Works Really Well.
