OCTOpod Printer Template Masks

Printer Template Masks

Place four crowns. In the right spots. Every time.

Drop these STL templates into your slicer to mark the four exact build-plate positions designed for the OCTOpod™ Crown Vat. Place your crowns in the marked slots, slice, print. (The mask is zero-thickness — the slicer won't expose it, so you can leave it in place.)

Downloads

One mask per printer.

Each STL is the exact build-plate footprint for the OCTOpod Crown Vat, with four positioning markers where each crown should sit. Download the mask that matches your printer.

How to use

Four-step workflow.

Slicer-side setup

  1. Open your slicer (Chitubox / Lychee / Anycubic Photon Workshop) and start a new project for the supported printer.
  2. Import the matching mask STL for your printer onto the build plate. The four positioning markers will appear at the corners of the Crown Vat region.
  3. Import your four crown STLs and drop one into each marker location. Use the slicer’s “move to position” or “center” tools to align centers exactly.
  4. Slice and send to the printer. The mask is zero-thickness, so the slicer won’t expose it — you can leave it in place. The OCTOpod Crown Vat will catch each crown in its dedicated chamber.

Version & support

These masks are versioned (v0 · 2026-05-05) and may change as we tune positioning tolerances. If you previously bookmarked a download URL, refresh this page periodically to get the latest version.

If a print run misaligns despite using the mask, email chad@octodent.com with your printer model, slicer, and a screenshot of the build-plate layout.
