Description
The Z-Vat 2 is an optimized glass-bottom resin tray compatible with the Formlabs Form 2 3D Printer*. It is built from a modified stock Form 2 tray- the standard acrylic base window is removed and replaced with an optical glass plate.
By employing the original manufacturer's tray in its design, the Z-Vat 2 preserves all the functionality of the Form 2 while utilizing the additional benefits of printing with glass.
Advantages of printing with a glass Z-Vat:
• Z-Vat glass-bottom tanks are considerably easier to clean than acrylic tanks. Acrylic cannot be cleaned with alcohol, so if it comes into contact with resin or other substances the only option is often to throw it away.
• Being easier to clean means it is far easier to recoat the PDMS layer when it becomes cloudy. With a glass tank you can easily remove a worn PDMS layer and pour a new one for under $12. Save plastic from the landfill and save $$$ by refurbishing your trays in-house. See recoat instructions here.
• Due to the optical qualities of printing with glass, many users printing with the Z-Vat report the best prints they've ever experienced from their machines.
