Elegoo Saturn resin vat drain stand and drip tray
A tilted stand that holds the resin vat of an Elegoo Saturn 3, Saturn 2 or Saturn 8K at 60 degrees over a tray so leftover resin drains back into the bottle through a filter funnel. The Saturn vat is about 235 by 145 mm at the flange, so the stand has two 240 mm cradles with a 3 mm ledge for the flange and a 1 mm silicone-friendly recess so the FEP never touches plastic. The tray below is 260 by 170 mm with 8 mm walls and a 20 mm pour corner sized to a standard paint filter. Print the two side rails upright and the tray flat in PETG, which resists uncured resin better than PLA. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.Adjust

Example prompt
Design a resin vat drain stand with two side rails 240 mm long angled 60 degrees carrying a 3 mm flange ledge and 1 mm recess, joined by a tray 260 mm long, 170 mm wide and 25 mm tall with 8 mm walls, a 20 mm funnel corner and 3 mm floor, and 4 mm fillets at all joints.
Fit notes
Draining a vat in the hand for ten minutes wastes resin and patience. In SpeakCAD you give the vat flange size, preview the stand in the browser, ask for a Mars or Neptune resin version in the chat, then download the STL.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.
Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.
No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
