Removing large chunks should be easier with your hands

Step 2) Put the 3D printed VAT cleaning handle in the VAT and let the small debries to settle down to the bottom of the VAT

The VAT cleaning function will create a new layer that traps all debries at the bottom of your VAT

Step 4) Use the handles to lift the VAT cleaning layer

Remove everything and you have a clean VAT

Step 5) Hang the VAT cleaning handles on your build plate

Excess iquid resin will drip back down to the VAT

Step 6) Remove the upper part of the VAT cleaning handle for future reuse

The upper half of the VAT cleaning handle is removable so you can reuse them next time.
