Elegoo Mercury holder mod for Mars 5 build plate

If you have a Mars 5 Ultra and want to wash the entire build plate in the Mercury Wash Station (the model PRIOR to the new one released Nov 2024) like I did, there wasn't any way to hang the build plate inside. I prefer washing the finished prints on the build plate before removing them. I couldn't find anything that worked for the Mars 5 build plate (which came way after the Mercury was first designed).

My Mercury Wash and Cure Station came with two stainless racks that fit together inside the Wash Station, I've designed the build plate holder to fit the top rack. This rack stops at about the 5000mL mark and you want to fill the container up to that line/indent. Put the finished build plate onto the build plate holder and slide the stainless rack with holder and build plate right into the container and cleaning solution. The printed parts on the build plate should now be entirely in solution. Turn the Wash Station on and come back when it's done. Clean build plate and printed parts!

The next version of this part will fit into the bottom rack so you don't have to fill the container with so much volume to clean the build plate. I started with this one to make sure I could use the full Z range of the printer.
