While using my original design I noticed it was difficult to grab onto the build plate with one hand.  The caddy was in the way!  I've mirrored the design so it mounts on the back of the plate instead of the front.  Now your fingers have room to grab.

 

The Reflex RS's flat build plate really holds onto resin.  I didn't really like any of the options HeyGears provides.  They were all kinda bulky, touched resin, weren't permanent, you couldn't close the lid, etc.  And they were hard to print on FDM without a ton of supports. (I don't want to waste that expensive resin on a large functional part 🙂 )

 

So I made this one.  It mounts to the side of the build plate using a M4x12 screw.  There is already a pre-tapped hole.  I had that screw lying around from my XL but these should work too: https://amzn.to/4eGBI8k (affiliate link).  You can use longer but you will need to print some spacers.

 

Can be left on while printing.

Prints without supports.  

I used PETG.  Can be printed in resin too.
