Aluminum Resin Tank for the Solus 3d printer.

CNC'd from aircraft-grade Aluminum, this resin tank is designed to last for a very long time.

Much more durable than acrylic resin tanks
Very easy to clean. It can be washed with alcohol or soap and hot water.
It can be sterilized for medical applications
No risk of crazing or cracking in-case strong resins and chemicals are used

Price: $199

Not unless you mark your vat. I just pour it out into a shot glass that I have marked for the proper amount.

Here's a pic of the aluminum tank I got a while back. You can see they added a pour "spout" (much appreciated!, and if it ain't a pour spout, well that's what it gets used for around here) and milled fill marks. The pour spout is visible on the left corner of the tank. One of the fill marks kinda looks like a reflection on the inside of the tank just to the left of the screwfeed, the other mark is on the opposite tank side and not clearly visible in the photo.

I like this new tank a lot. Gonna be another one on its way for Thing 1 soon along with another projector plate.

Got mine today. Excited to try it out. Even more excited by the ease at which it can be cleaned.
