Wanhao D7 VAT with part draining bracket

thingiverse

This is a spare vat for the Wanhao D7 printer. It utilizes 24 M4 x 16mm countersunk bolts secured with half nuts. The bracket for part drainage can remain in place while printing with the cover on, allowing smaller height prints to be completed while draining resin. A bracket that fits on either side of the vat will be added later, enabling full-size print drainage without interruption. I have yet to manufacture this spare vat but plan to incorporate a left or right-mounted bracket for efficient resin removal. Edit: A side bracket (No.2) has been designed and added. Edit 2: The VAT Bracket size has been reduced due to an initial length miscalculation, and the bottom thickness of both brackets has been increased for enhanced strength. Edit 3: A standard part using 10mm thumb nuts has been created for the brackets. Edit 4: The spare vat design has been revised to incorporate M4 square weld nuts, which reduce nut spinning risk and provide a secure hold on the plastic.
