Qidi 6.08 Mono build plate

thingiverse

2/22/22 update: added plate versions with depressions for adding magnets. Check tinkercad models to verify use in your application. This is a DIY version of the build plate for the Qidi 6.08 Mono resin printer. It requires the addition of a magnetic flexible build plate kit to be functional. A possible kit choice might be one of these: https://www.amazon.com/DP/B08V8QCKYF (or similar) in the 140x84mm size. The model has actual plate bottom dimensions of 140x87mm. Plates A2 & A3 have depressions for magnets. I use A2 in an assembly to hold a flex plate during washes for models I want to clean be removal from the plate. I have an adaptor to allow use of the 6.08 build plate on a Mercury 2 plus wash/cure station. 3mm threaded inserts and 3mm cap head screws are used for assembly. The two screws on the back side of the head socket are tightened to apply pressure to the build plate ball mount once the plate is properly leveled. These screws need to be loosened slightly prior to leveling. I'd suggest using 100% infill for the ball and the region immediately below. The remainder of the parts are fine at 20%. Use a high wall count (6+?) to provide a good grip area for the threaded inserts. Holes will probably need to be chased with a properly sized drill bit, both for 3mm screws and top thumbscrew. The two part head socket was printed with the ball socket uppermost. Supports were used for the square opening. Be sure to use supports settings that permit easy/complete support removal. source files on Tinkercad https://www.tinkercad.com/things/25iEYzlRqLt
