This tool is to help remove the sheet of cured resin you get when you run a vat cleaning cycle on your MSLA resin printer. You hold it (gently) in place near the corner of your screen while the cleaning cycle exposes the full screen. The cleaning tool ends up embedded in the resin sheet, and makes it easier to pull it free from the bottom of the resin vat. 

I print these with regular PLA, no special settings. These are disposable items – I print them 10 at a time so that I always have one handy when I need to do a vat cleaning. 

NOTE: They tend to float in the resin tank, and will tip over if not held in place. That makes them both really messy, and makes them not stick to the sheet from the cleaning cycle. Hold the tool upright against the bottom of the vat. Light pressure from the top of the handle is all that's required.
