Review on ๐Ÿ”ฉ Sovol Anodized Aluminum Silicone Preinstalled by Scott Gafur

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I never knew how much I needed it.

I wasn't planning on buying some resin bottles when I ordered accessories for my Elegoo Mars, but I'm so glad I did. I hate cleaning resin replacement tanks so I tried to print everything in one color before finally getting to the point where it stopped working. This basically solves this problem. Now I can change resins quickly without having to clean the tank every time. This purchase was more than justified! Of course you have to be careful when moving as the resin can still splash and spill. Don't do like me and forget this part or you'll be scraping tar off your workbench forever. As others have said, silicone lids are not suitable for Mars tanks as they are smaller than a standard tank. . It was just a bit annoying because I didn't have a cap for my Mars tank, but I can probably get caps for them elsewhere or just print one on my FDM printer. The lids were tighter. Then I would feel more comfortable mounting them on my storage shelves without worrying about the FEP film not being pressed properly. Of course I think I can just print out the tray to install them.

Pros
  • Double silicone caps protect the resin tank and FEP sheet from dust, scratches, UV sources or direct sunlight. Ideal for resin storage.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
