Systems and methods for automated post processing of 3D printed objects

A system comprising:

• a vertical frame portion;
• a horizontal frame portion connected to the vertical frame portion;
• a motor connected to the vertical frame portion above the horizontal frame portion and including a shaft extending outwardly from the vertical frame portion;
• a container having first and second end surfaces, a meshed wall surface extending between the first and second end surfaces, and a lid located on one of the meshed wall surface, the first end surface, and the second end surface;
• wherein at least one of the first and second end surfaces is removably connected to the shaft of the motor;
• wherein the motor rotates the container relative to the vertical frame portion and the horizontal frame portion;
• and
• wherein the horizontal frame portion includes a tubular portion including a slit and first and second panels sloping towards the slit to direct material falling from the meshed wall surface of the container towards the slit;
• and
• wherein the first and second panels are attached to the tubular portion along a length of the tubular portion and extend upwards and outwardly from the tubular portion from either side of the slit, respectively.
