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.

What's Included:
  • 1 ULTIM8™ VAT
Composition:

The ULTIM8™ VAT is made of a single piece of diecast aluminum alloy. It has been treated with a multiple oxidation and anodization process to ensure a hard external finish. It is nearly indestructible, and resistant to long periods in resin, IPA, and all solvents.

Specifications:
  • Die cast aluminum alloy
  • Grit Blasted, Oxidized, Anodized
  • 40 x 40 x 80mm tall
  • 64 g

Attention: when working with resin always use the appropriate eye protection and gloves to avoid contact with the resin.

Steps for Use:


  1. Raise your build plate toward the top of the Z-axis.
  2. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Use a light pressure down while swirling slightly the ULTIM8™ VAT to ensure the bottom releases and makes contact with the FEP.
  3. Use your machine control panel to find the screen clean function and activate it.
  4. Hold down the ULTIM8™ VAT while the cleaning cycle is active.
  5. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. If you have any resin remaining in the bottom grooves, leave the ULTIM8™ VAT in IPA overnight and the remnants will drop right out.
  3. 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.

Holy Grail Moisturizer for Rosacea
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-3.3 Fl Oz
In seeing so many negative reviews I felt compelled to weigh in as this is my favorite moisturizer. I have very dry, menopausal skin. Additionally, I have rosacea which seems to have been a nice gift from said menopause (you can only laugh, right?). It's very common for those of us in our 50's to have a compromised skin barrier and when an issue like rosacea is present, even more so. Because of all this my skin is very intolerant to most moisturizers and nearly all actives (over the last few years I've had to discontinue my retinols and chemical exfoliators). While ingredients like ALA's, petrolatum, mineral oil, parafin/bees wax, and lanolin are well tolerated and known to be quite soothing, they don't hydrate very well as they are more occlusive than moisturizing. Enter this product. Magically, it does both! It's marketed as a protective cream, which again implies occlusive, but it penetrates like no other. Gone is the tight, dry feeling that persisted even when I had a heavy layer of product on my skin (my previous moisturizer was Eucerin Original Healing Cream -- which still has its uses -- because it was the only thing I could put on my skin outside of squalane oil during a flare). Now, no topical can cure rosacea. However, the right product can calm the skin, repair the damaged lipid barrier, and improve its appearance. This moisturizer does just that and it's become my holy grail. Since starting this I've also added in the Cicalfate Serum which has only aided in repairing my skin. Another Avene product that works great for me is the XeraCalm Balm which helps with itching. I use all three of these daily and they've really helped fix the secondary issues that come with rosacea. As for the complaints about it being greasy or too heavy. I can see this not working for people with normal or oily skin (or perhaps only in moderation). But my skin loves the heavier weight and because one of the ways I soothe a flare is to keep a tiny mister bottle on hand and repeatedly spray my face so I have to guard against the drying effects of evaporation. These products are so lipid heavy that I can wet my face all day long without worrying about that, though I do reapply throughout the day. As for the watery consistency issue, I haven't had that problem but it does caution on the packaging not to expose the product to temperatures below 41 degrees F (5 C). I suspect that if it gets too cold either because of the weather or because of whatever warehouse it sat in during transit it will separate. Maybe open the package and before squeezing some out look to see if it has split and then shake it up/message the tube. So, if you have skin like mine don't hesitate to try this product. I'm leaving this absurdly long review for my struggling brothers and sisters out there with rosacea in hopes that it provides some relief! Happy moisturizing, internet strangers. ;)

Possible solution to seperation
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz
I love this product so much, but, like everyone else the water HEAVILY separated. A lot of water just shot out immediately and as i've used the cream it has felt more and more thick bc of that, shaking the tube or not. POSSIBLE SOLUTION: I actually think the company could salvage this problem by upgrading packaging to a Cosmetic JAR and then customers could take a toothpick and stir if separation has occurred by the time of purchase. I hope to try this with my next tube, just toothpaste squeezed everything out into a nice cosmetic jar and stir the water back into the product. This is such a simple solution that could really solve the product waste. This refreshes my skin, doesn't break me out, and is lovely. I break out so easily, and being middle aged my skin really requires a dense help with moisture. <3

Ordered in spring/summer and it arrived separated too BUT...
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz
Ok, So I heard great things about this cream and decided to order. I ordered on May 28th and I live on the Gulf Coast of Texas and it is in the low 90s right now. I was worried mine would arrived separated like many others claimed to have gotten theirs, and sadly it did. Warm weather or not, blue water shot out of the tube the minute I squeezed it. Luckily, I read Mia P's review and submerged my tube in warm water (hot water actually straight out of my instant hot water faucet). I left it for about 5 minutes then shook it vigoroously. It seemed to help but was still a bit wonky so I repeated the process again and success! My tube is totally fine now and comes out in a thick, rich, emollient cream as it is supposed to. I will update my review after I use it more but so far I love the way it feels on the skin. It is very thick but spreads nicely and completely absorbs into the skin and leaves no greasy residue which is a big deal because I have oily skin. I purchased this to help with my Retin A uglies (I actually am using Musely with .05% tretinoin) and am hoping it helps with the redness and peeling I am having. I will update my review once I've used it for a while but wanted to post this review as I saw so many people complaining about the separating and just thought I'd mention that you can fix this issue if you have it (and there is a good likely hood that you will). Update: I've been using this for a week now and I am absolutely in love with this cream! It is the most hydrating and healing cream I've ever used. Usually, thicker face creams like this would cause issues for me with acne or clogged pores as I do have oily skin that can break out if I use products with occlusive ingredients, but this one does not. In fact, my skin has never looked better! This is a must-have if you are using Retin-A/Tretinoin and going through the red/peely phase with your skin. The separation that occurred when I first received it has not been a problem and the cream is staying thick and free from any strange liquidy issues after I put it in hot water as mentioned in the first part of my review.
