Using a Peristaltic Pump For Handling Resin in Your 3D Printer

Here’s a “Why didn’t I think of that?” way of cleaning the resin vat of your SLA printer.

In this video, Daniel Herrero shows how he uses an inexpensive peristaltic pump to remove resin from the vats of his printers without having to remove the vat.

As he points out, for small-bed resin printers, pouring off the remaining resin isn’t such a big deal, but it can become more unwieldy on printers with larger vats. In such cases, you might want to try this pumping solution.
