Introducing the ULTIM8™ VAT – your new go-to tool for quick and efficient FEP cleaning after print failures or whenever you suspect hardened resin particles. For use when executing a screen clean, also known as an FEP or tank clean depending on your printer brand. Learn more about how to clean your vat using this tool.
Crafted from a single piece of die-cast aluminum alloy, the ULTIM8™ VAT features a grit-blasted surface for optimal texture—allowing it to grip but easily release cured resin. Its multiple-stage oxidation and anodization process ensures a durable, hard exterior finish, making it nearly indestructible. Resistant to prolonged exposure to resin, IPA, and all solvents, the ULTIM8™ VAT is built to last.

Steps for Use:
- Raise your build plate toward the top of the Z-axis.
- If your resin has been sitting for more than a few days, mix it thoroughly to prevent separation, which can lead to incurable areas. Use a soft silicone spatula, such as Wham Bam’s ULTIM8™ WYP, to gently stir the resin in the vat, ensuring a homogeneous solution. While mixing, check for any hardened pieces in the vat; if found, carefully remove and dispose of them.
- Place your ULTIM8™ VAT base down toward the corner of your vat, it should be positioned in such a way that 75-80% of the tool overlays the screen and the rest overlays the border such that it provides a great corner peel.
- Use a light pressure down while swirling slightly the ULTIM8™ VAT to ensure the bottom releases and makes contact with the FEP.
- Use your machine control panel to find the screen clean function and activate it.
- Hold down the ULTIM8™ VAT while the cleaning cycle is active.
- When the cleaning function is finished, use a piece of cardboard or tray as a drip catcher while lifting upward in a prying motion on the handles of the ULTIM8™ VAT to lift a cured flat layer of resin out of the vat. Allow the excess resin to drip off. Frequently, you can find ways of hanging the ULTIM8™ VAT by the handle on your build plate holder, or download our free drip holder or the Whammy head holder.
- When done dripping, remove the whole tool and resin. Peel the cured resin off of the ULTIM8™ VAT. Dispose of the cured resin and drop your ULTIM8™ VAT in some IPA for a final clean.
- If you have any resin remaining in the bottom grooves, leave the ULTIM8™ VAT in IPA overnight and the remnants will drop right out.
- You are ready to print!
Note: If you observe significant chunks or other particles remaining in your resin, it's advisable to remove the vat, strain it using a funnel and strainer like our ULTIM8™ FUN, and thoroughly clean your equipment.
