ELEGOO 2-Pack Metal Resin Tanks for Mars 3D Printer

Don H: Am a huge Elegoo fan. Have yet to be disappointed with any of their products. These tanks are no exception.

Ryan Collins: I actually bought these for my Anycubic Photon and they work perfectly. They are a higher quality and better construction design than the original that came with the machine except that there is only a MAX line indicated on the inside rather than the multiple fill levels that mine originally came with. That is a small price to pay for the quality of these and the fact that I can buy just FEP film to replace when it wears out rather than having to buy an entirely new tray. There are not a lot of upgrades to recommend for most printers, but these are one I would suggest to anyone who posed the question.

Brian Grizz: I printed out a couple of 'toggles' for the screw posts on my Epax E6 to hold these trays and they work great.
So much easier - clean one tray while printing with the other (or put off cleaning the other one :), swap colors, do quick resin comparisons, keep a vat of go-to resin on hand while playing with another, etc. Plus no worries about fine-tuning the FEP or scratching it while installing it - these come ready-to-print.
I carved a couple of finger grooves in the foam tray they came packed in to make it easier to get the trays in and out and that holds them nice and secure on my shelf, no light at all with the lids on, no scratching the FEP.
I've run over 100 pints on a couple of these, no leaks, no problems at all. I agree with others that a pour groove would be nice, and maybe a lid that would fit the bottom also to have a place to set the tray down while swapping, but really no complaints at all - I'll be buying more.

Kris: As the title suggests, these are excellent "spare" vats to have on hand, but they REALLY need an airtight, leakproof sealing lid to be included with them. The included lids are molded and sit on there fairly well, but are only intended to keep out dust and debris. I bought these thinking they would be good for storage, but that's not the case.

With that being said, the aluminum frame is superb, and the FEP install on these is flawless, so if you're just looking for extra vats and sealed storage isn't of major importance, I'd highly recommend.

CarterTGCarterTG: Elegoo has been firing on all cylinders when it comes to the quality they're offering at low price points. This resin tank kit is no exception.
The beefy metal frames are identical to the one that came with the Mars Printer. Its anodized surface has a texture that makes wiping off spilled resin a clean process. External measurements are 177 x 120 x 30 millimeters, assuring Anycubic owners they can partake in this bargain too.
To reiterate their description, this is a KIT where the FEP film hasn't been installed. Four sheets are enclosed. Each FEP sheet has a protector clinging on both sides. The FEP has a 0.15mm thickness. Elegoo Official has a YouTube clip showing the DIY installation.
As my photo shows, the Vat kit came with two 2.5mm (hex) allen wrenches to fasten the big screws. The other bag of small screws is used to help sandwich the FEP film into place. These take a 2.0mm allen wrench which wasn't in my early order. Why? Because Elegoo already gave you a nice 2.0mm hex driver in the Mars Printer's parts box! With 24 of the sandwiching screws to fasten for each frame, you'll want to use a handled driver over a janky L wrench anyway. I won't be moaning over an allen...
