Kit of 8 essential tools for 3D printing: silicone filter, funnels, spatulas, pliers and storage case.
The 8-Tool Kit for 3D Printing brings together everything you need to work with photopolymer resins in an organised, safe and efficient way — all in a single case. It's designed for both beginners and professionals who want a well-sorted workflow without improvising tools.
Kit contents

| Mini spatula No. 2 | For detail work and small parts |
| PLATO170 pliers | For cutting supports and handling small components with precision |
| Plastic spatula | For handling and smoothing materials without scratching surfaces |
| Brass brush | For cleaning build plates, nozzles and printer components |
| Storage case | To keep all tools organised and ready to use |
What it's used for
This kit covers the most common needs of daily work with resin 3D printers (MSLA, DLP, SLA): from filling and filtering the vat to removing parts and maintaining the machine.
- Filter photopolymer resin when refilling or recovering material from the vat, preventing cured particles from contaminating the next print run
- Remove parts from the build plate safely — large parts with the scraper, small parts with the mini spatula
- Cut and remove print supports with the precision pliers without breaking the part
- Smooth or handle partially cured resins during post-processing with the plastic spatula
- Clean the build plate, FEP film and other components with the brass brush
- Transfer resins between containers using the disposable paper funnels
- Keep the work area tidy and transport the tools using the included case
How to use it
- Before starting a print, shake the resin well and use the silicone funnel filter together with a paper funnel to pour it into the vat, removing any lumps or cured particles.
- Once the print is finished, let the build plate drip back into the vat for a few seconds.
- Use the large scraper to detach bulky parts; for small or delicate parts, work with the mini spatula No. 2 using gentle, controlled movements.
- Cut the supports with the PLATO170 pliers, holding the part firmly to prevent it from moving and causing breakage.
- If you need to smooth any flashing or handle partially cured resin, use the plastic spatula to avoid scratching the part.
- After each session, clean the build plate and rails with the brass brush to remove any dried residue before it builds up.
- Store all tools in the case to keep them located and protected between uses.
Usage tips
Resin filtering: don't skip it
Filtering resin before pouring it into the vat is the step that prevents the most printing errors. Cured resin fragments floating in the vat are the most common cause of scratches on the FEP film and adhesion failures in intermediate layers. Always use the silicone filter combined with one of the included paper funnels for each fill.
Part removal: controlled force
Apply the scraper at a low angle relative to the build plate and apply progressive, not sudden, pressure. If the part doesn't give, don't force it — try loosening the edges with the mini spatula before trying again with the scraper. The pliers are for supports, not for prying parts off the build plate.
Cleaning the brass brush
The brass brush is softer than steel and won't scratch the printer's metal surfaces, but it can retain resin between the bristles. Clean it with isopropyl alcohol after each use and leave it to dry bristles-down to prevent resin residue from reaching the handle.
Frequently asked questions
Is this kit enough to start working with a resin printer?
Yes. The 8-tool kit covers the basic operations of a resin workflow: filtering, filling, part removal, support cutting and machine cleaning. To get started, it's everything you need to have next to the printer.
Is the silicone filter compatible with all types of resins?
Yes. The silicone funnel filter is inert against common photopolymers (standard resins, ABS-Like resins, flexible resins, casting resins). It does not react with or degrade from solvents commonly used in the process, such as isopropyl alcohol.
How many uses can you get from the paper funnels?
They are disposable. Once the resin saturates the paper, filtration loses effectiveness and the funnel may tear. The standard practice is to use one funnel per vat fill. With 50 units included, you have enough for a long period of work.
Can the included pliers be used to cut carbon fibre or composite materials?
The PLATO170 pliers are designed for 3D print supports and thin plastic components, not for composite materials such as carbon fibre or aramid. For that type of cutting you need specific tools such as the Carbon / Kevlar / Aramid Special Scissors.
Can the plastic spatula be used with two-component resins?
Yes, the plastic spatula is suitable for mixing and smoothing two-component polyurethane or epoxy resins, as long as small quantities are involved. For larger volumes or continuous mixing, it is more practical to use a disposable wooden spatula.
Is the case rigid or flexible?
The case is a storage and transport case designed to keep tools organised and protected. Its purpose is to prevent tools from being scattered around the workshop and allow them to be moved without risk of loss.
Do I need anything else to work with photopolymer resins besides this kit?
For a complete workflow you will also need nitrile gloves (essential — uncured resin is an irritant), protective goggles, isopropyl alcohol for washing parts and a UV source for post-curing. The kit provides the mechanical tools; PPE and cleaning consumables are separate.
