25 cm OD shelf for acetone vapor bath for use in 5 gallon bucket.
Disclaimer: Do not perform an acetone vapor bath to smooth ABS parts. Performing acetone vapor baths is dangerous and should not be performed in doors, near open flames, near motors or motorized equipment or any environment deemed to be hazardous. Only perform outdoors in well ventilated area. Perform at your own risk.
OK, disclaimer over. I use a 5 gallon bucket with magnets and paper towels dampened with acetone to perform the acetone vapor baths. The bucket is placed upside down and the lid is the shelf. To allow the vapors to move get to all of the part, I created this shelf. The shelf can be printed in 4 parts. Optional leg extenders and various length legs are included.
REMEMBER: Never try indoors, only perform outside in well ventilated areas. Protect your skin. The vapors are hazardous to your health and explosive. To be safe, just don't do it. By printing this object, you release myself and Thingiverse from any liability or claims.
Other than that, it works quite well.
Plint with PLA only, so it doesnt melt.
I printed at .3 resolution and 15% infill. It is pretty sturdy. Assemble with crazy glue.
This goes great with the acetone vapor bath fan: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3027661
