WanHao D7 Drip Stand

thingiverse

This is a Drip Stand for the Print Plate on a WanHao D7 and similar printers... It holds the Print plate at an angle (currently 20 or 30 degrees) over the Resin Vat so that excess Resin can drain off and back into the printer. This Stand can remain mounted to the printer while a print is in progress and the main printer cover is on the printer...It need not be removed and replaced with each print. Currently there are two versions: a 30 degree angle and a 20 degree both work. The 20 degree is on the main Horizontal support so to reduce island and support issues with the SLA printers...technically either can be printed on either type printer. I print these just as the are shown and used however I think they could be done in other orientations with the right support. I do use support when printing with PLA as the long bridges tend to sag. I use PLA with 15% infill and 5-6 permitters to make the stand stiff yet light. SLA is printed solid for now...it is not quite as stiff as the PLA but good enough.
