Phrozen Aluminum Resin Vat - Mighty Revo 16K MAX Series
Phrozen Mighty Revo 16K MAX Resin Vat
The Phrozen Sonic Mighty Revo 16K MAX offers two resin vat options: the Quick-Release Film Resin Vat and the Heated Resin Vat. You can choose the version that best suits your maintenance efficiency needs, ambient temperature, and resin properties.
Phrozen Quick-Release Film Resin Vat | For Mighty Revo 16K MAX
The Quick-Release Film Resin Vat utilizes a fixed plate and latch structure, significantly simplifying the release film replacement process. Compared to traditional methods that require removing screws one by one, this design is better suited for use cases that require frequent maintenance or film changes.
Simple 3-Step Film Replacement Process
For full installation instructions, please refer to the instruction card included with the product.
When should you replace the Quick-Release Film Resin Vat?
Resin vats are generally designed for long-term use, but consider a replacement if you notice any of the following:
- The resin vat is deformed or has a poor seal.
- The fixing structure is damaged.
- The resin vat surface is severely worn.
- The release film fixed plates or latch mechanism become loose or damaged, affecting airtightness.
Why choose the original Phrozen Quick-Release Film Resin Vat?
Quick-Release Design
Uses fixed plates and latches to secure the release film, reducing daily maintenance and film replacement time.
2L Large Capacity
Suitable for large models and long-duration, overnight printing tasks.
Enlarged Handle and Pouring Spout
Makes it easier to handle, pour resin, and perform daily operations while reducing the risk of drips.
CNC Aluminum Structure
Crafted from precision CNC-machined aluminum to maintain a stable resin vat structure.
Durable Surface Treatment
Features a sandblasted and powder-coated surface finish.
Ready to Use Out of the Box
Comes with the release film pre-installed, simplifying the initial setup process.
Maintenance Tips for the Quick-Release Film Resin Vat
- Clean the resin vat appropriately after each print.
- Avoid using sharp tools to touch the release film directly.
- If the release film is damaged, stop using it immediately and replace it.
- If not used for an extended period, it is recommended to empty the resin from the vat.
- Ensure the fixed plates and latches are fully secured during operation to avoid poor sealing.
Phrozen Heated Resin Vat | For Mighty Revo 16K MAX
The Heated Resin Vat incorporates a heating module into a traditional resin vat structure. It works in tandem with the Mighty Revo 16K MAX’s chamber heating function to create a dual-heating system, helping maintain the resin at an optimal, stable working temperature.
When should you replace the Heated Resin Vat?
- The resin vat is deformed or has a poor seal.
- The fixing structure is damaged.
- The resin vat surface is severely worn.
- The heating module malfunctions, such as failure to heat or abnormal temperature readings.
Why choose the original Phrozen Heated Resin Vat?
Active Resin Vat Heating
Pairs with chamber heating to form a dual-heating system.
Low-Temperature Printing
Helps the resin maintain a stable working state in colder environments.
High-Viscosity Engineering Resins
Suitable for use with engineering resins that are sensitive to temperature or have high viscosity.
2L Large Capacity
Suitable for long-duration printing and large-scale model production.
CNC Aluminum Structure
Features a precision CNC-machined aluminum structure with a durable anodized finish.
Dedicated Design
Specifically designed for the Sonic Mighty Revo 16K MAX, with a release film pre-installed.
Usage and Maintenance Tips for the Heated Resin Vat
- Clean the resin vat appropriately after each print.
- Avoid using sharp tools to touch the release film.
- If the release film is damaged, replace it immediately.
- Empty the resin vat if it will be unused for a long time.
- During cleaning, avoid letting liquid seep into the heating module contacts; wipe with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and let dry completely.
- If the machine is in a cold environment (below 15°C) for a long time, it is recommended to turn on the chamber heating to preheat before starting a print.

FAQ | Phrozen Mighty Revo 16K MAX Resin Vat Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of a resin vat in a 3D printer?
The resin vat holds the photopolymer resin and allows UV light to pass through the release film at the bottom, curing the resin layer-by-layer to form the model.
What is the difference between a Quick-Release Film Resin Vat and a standard one?
The Quick-Release Film Resin Vat uses fixed plates and latches to secure the film, replacing the traditional method of using multiple screws. This makes replacing the film faster and easier to maintain.
Can the Quick-Release Film Resin Vat and Heated Resin Vat be used interchangeably?
Yes. Both resin vats are compatible with the Sonic Mighty Revo 16K MAX.
The Quick-Release Film Resin Vat excels in convenience, making it ideal for those who change films frequently. The Heated Resin Vat excels in temperature control, making it better for cold environments or high-viscosity engineering resins.
Does the Quick-Release Film Resin Vat have a heating function?
No. The Quick-Release Film Resin Vat does not contain a heating module. If you require resin vat heating, you must purchase the Heated Resin Vat separately.
Does the Heated Resin Vat feature quick-release film replacement?
No. The release film replacement process for the Heated Resin Vat is the same as a traditional resin vat, requiring a fixed frame and screws.
If your primary requirement is fast film changes, we recommend choosing the Quick-Release Film Resin Vat.
Why use aluminum alloy for the resin vat?
Aluminum alloy provides excellent strength and durability, helping to maintain the structural stability of the vat and reducing the possibility of deformation over extended use.
How often does the resin vat need to be replaced?
The resin vat itself can usually be used for a long time. Replacement is only recommended if the structure is damaged, deformed, loses its seal, or if the heating module in the heated version malfunctions.
Can the release film on the resin vat be replaced individually?
Yes. When the release film is severely scratched, punctured, or damaged, it can be replaced individually.
For the Quick-Release Film Resin Vat, you must purchase the Phrozen PFA (nFEP) Release Film specifically for the Mighty Revo 16K MAX Quick-Release Vat; its dimensions and installation method differ from the Heated Resin Vat version.
Which resins are compatible with the resin vat?
Phrozen resin vats can be used with a wide range of photopolymer 3D printing resins.
Is the Heated Resin Vat included with the Mighty Revo 16K MAX?
No. The Sonic Mighty Revo 16K MAX comes with the Quick-Release Film Resin Vat as standard; the Heated Resin Vat is an optional upgrade accessory.
How does the Heated Resin Vat heat the resin?
The machine heats both the chamber and the resin vat to the set temperature before printing begins. If the chamber temperature drops abnormally during printing, the system will automatically display an alert.
Which release film should I use for the Heated Resin Vat?
Please purchase the Phrozen PFA (nFEP) Release Film specifically for the Mighty Revo 16K MAX Heated Resin Vat.
Do not use the version meant for the Quick-Release Resin Vat, as the two have different sizes and installation methods.
What is the biggest difference between the Heated Resin Vat and a standard resin vat?
The Heated Resin Vat incorporates a heating module into the standard resin vat structure, allowing the resin to be kept at a stable working temperature.
It is particularly suitable for low-temperature printing and for high-viscosity engineering resins (such as Tough 100E), helping to create more stable printing conditions.
