We designed a case for the MOAI resin vat. This should also work for the Formlabs Form 1 vat

This is a handy option to store the vat outside the MOAI, and to remove the last bits of resin that are still inside even after pouring out the majority.

This is made from 3mm MDF, but could also be made from black opaque 3mm acrylic.

Its laser cut, and has an inner gasket so the bottom of the vat doesn't touch the bottom of the case, and an outer gasket so that the lid seals fairly well, ensuring that light and air can't really get inside. Gaskets are 2mm EVA foam.

Also, it has a removable corner raiser, so that the vat is slightly tilted when this is inserted, letting the last bit of resin flow into the lower left hand corner (takes a while), and then can be poured out more easily.

The lower frame around the vat is fairly low, so it's easy to insert / remove the vat once the lid is removed.

Additionally, the lower part or top can also be put over the vat inside the MOAI, e.g. if you want to leave the vat in over night.

Cut from 3mm MDF and 2mm or 3mm EVA foam. Instructions in the SVG file.

Or, if you like this and want to have me make you one (as a self assembly kit), let me know and we can make it for you. Cost: € 14 + shipping for MDF version, € 31 + shipping for black acrylic version (sorry, acrylic is really expensive. You could also spray paint the MDF version)
