Description
This is a replacement Build Plate Mount for the Monoprice Mini SLA printer. My build plate mount broke the other day and tired of waiting on Monoprice for a replacement I decided to 3D Print this.
This is beefed up a little here and there, but I tried to stay pretty close to the original design. The indexing features are smaller on this than the original. I think that will help it separate a bit better as there's more tolerance there.
I honestly have no idea how well it'll hold up (within this SLA environment), but at least I can make more of them fairly quickly (about an hour for my printer). According to someone ABS / PETG should be fine and will not react with the resin.
Update 8/13/2019: Added two new versions which should be stronger to help prevent breaks (not that mine has or anything).
BuildPlateMount.STL - Original design
Build Plate Mount - Solid.stl - Instead of having any pockets, it is completely solid on the top.
Build Plate Mount - Stronger.stl - Has reinforcements but still some air gaps.
Personally I switched to "Stronger"
