Elegoo Saturn 2 Build Plate Support Removal Stand

10/25/2024 update: It looks like I switched the file names on accident. File names are now correct.

I designed this to hold the build plate up at a roughly 90° angle to make scraping supports off easier. The bottom build plate edge is also raised up off the floor so it's not sitting in a puddle of resin, alcohol, and stray support chunks. 

The part that cradles the bottom of the build plate is a loose fit. There is a decent amount of leeway so you can rock the build plate forward. Make sure the build plate is leaning forward a bit while scraping so the alignment base isn't resting against the stand to minimize the risk of knocking the plate off kilter.

The short version pictured was designed around this fantastic drip bracket made by @gltovar but I also included a version that'll work if you don't have one of those brackets installed. 

The model intended for a build plate without the adapter has clearance for the plate alignment bolt so it will work on either side of the build plate.

The tub I'm using in the picture is an Ikea 5 quart food storage container and fits everything nicely. It has 4 little nub feet that I filed down to make the entire bottom sit flat against a surface so the plate doesn't bounce when downward force is applied inside the tub. They're made of polypropylene and they also sell lids with removable silicone seals so you can keep any alcohol inside from evaporating.

I printed this in Polymaker PETG with a 0.6mm nozzle and 2 walls and top/bottom layers with 15% gyroid infill. The print has been sitting in resin and alcohol for a couple weeks without issue. PLA probably isn't a good choice for this though.
