Description
This is a simple rack for storing up to 3 resin vats of the Elegoo Mars 3 and Mars 3 Pro.
I took inspiration from the Elegoo Mars Vat storage rack by Patrick Bourdeau (Warkha) available on Thingiverse, but this one is a complete redesign, since the Mars 3/3 Pro vats have a different form factor from the Mars basic ones, plus some other different design choices for higher stability.
The rack rails are designed to avoid touching the FEP sheet, but if you want further protection, including from light, you can print my Elegoo Mars and Mars 3 Vat Tray.
Note that the vats are asymmetric: in the file the front of the vat faces right. Just mirror it if you find it more comfortable to have the front of the vat facing left instead.
I decided to design it as a 3-vat rack, but if anyone needs a taller one (and has a bigger FDM printer than mine!) feel free to write me.
I printed it without supports, 0.20 mm layers, 30% infill, in PLA+ on an AnkerMake M5.
(Thanks to Rodrigo Souza, whose vat model included in his Elegoo Mars 3 model on Grabcad I used for the measurements of this design)
