It is a direct fit replacement for the original vat, compatible with the printer's existing frame mount and levelling system on both models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe resin vat is the structural component that holds liquid resin above the LCD panel during printing. The release film at the vat floor separates each cured layer from the vat base during the lift cycle. The Sonic Mini 8K and Mini 8KS operate at 22 µm native XY resolution, which is among the highest of any consumer resin printer in this format. At that resolution, the flatness and dimensional integrity of the vat directly affects print consistency: a warped or structurally compromised vat changes the gap between the release film and the LCD panel across the build area, producing uneven first layer curing that is difficult to diagnose because it presents as calibration error rather than a vat problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVat replacement is necessary when the aluminium frame is physically damaged, when the FEP film has been punctured or torn beyond what film-only replacement can address, or when the vat's seal has been compromised by a resin leak or chemical damage. It is also the practical solution for a dual-resin workflow: with two vats each dedicated to a specific resin type or colour, switching between resins requires only a vat swap and a build plate clean rather than a full drain, wash, and refill cycle. For users printing regularly across multiple resin types on the Mini 8K or Mini 8KS, a spare vat is the most time-efficient way to manage the changeover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vat is CNC machined from aluminium and anodised for long-term resistance to resin and IPA exposure. A designated pouring spout allows controlled resin return to the bottle without spillage. The vat ships with FEP film pre-installed, ready to level and print immediately without sourcing a separate film. It is compatible with all resin types used in the Sonic Mini 8K and Mini 8KS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3D Cast is Australia's official Phrozen distributor, stocking genuine Phrozen resin vats with fast shipping Australia wide and direct technical support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible printers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K, Phrozen Sonic Mini 8KS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScreen size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e L 24.5 x W 14.21 x H 3.2 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e L 18.35 x W 10.8 x H 3.2 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC machined aluminium, anodised\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease film:\u003c\/strong\u003e FEP (pre-installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePouring spout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResin compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e All resin types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Phrozen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47357360603313,"sku":"PHMi8KVAT","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/1569\/6817\/files\/Phrozen-Resin-Vat-for-Sonic-Mini-8K-and-Mini-8KS-_7.1_-Phrozen-130828680.png?v=1781305946","url":"https:\/\/3dcaststore.com.au\/products\/phrozen-resin-vat-sonic-mini-8k-8ks-7-1","provider":"3D Cast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
