Summary
Resin vats are expensive. So is FEP sheet. Resin vat screws are fragile. I found this out the hard way! Decided to create my own “disposable” resin vat that needs no screws, only ABS or “Raptor” PLA from MakerGeeks (http://bit.ly/2xS5wh3), epoxy resin, and some clear teflon (FEP) sheet (http://bit.ly/2xZe3y4). Use a filament that is strong, that’s why I recommend ABS or Raptor PLA, which can be annealed in the oven and actually becomes strong and more heat/chemical resistant than ABS or carbon filament! Anyway, using a thin bead of epoxy resin in the channel and on the bottom of the insert helps seal the build, and the pressure from the large vat screws on the printer combine to make this thing leak-free.

Sliced and printed with gcode from Simplify3D. I like to use a brim of 1 layer and 3 outlines right next to the print. It gives you something to help you remove the insert when you test the fit!
Post-Printing
ANNEAL THE RAPTOR AND AN ABS CAVEAT!
If you use the Raptor PLA, make sure you anneal the parts in the oven following these instructions!

Place piece on glass or ceramic or stone

Place a ceramic tile (or glass) over the piece to help prevent warping (if piece is flat on top)

Place item in a cold oven

Heat oven to 212F/100C

Set timer for 15 minutes

After 15 minutes, turn oven off – leave oven closed, leave piece in oven

Set timer for 45 minutes

After 45 minutes, remove ceramic or glass tile from the top of piece

Remove piece from oven (it should be pretty cool but not cold)
Item is still somewhat soft, so don’t drop it

Let item cool completely (maybe another 30 minutes)
Item is ready for use!
IF YOU ARE PRINTING IN ABS, DO NOT “SMOOTH” IT WITH ANYTHING, OR YOU COULD RUIN THE FIT!
