Instructions
1)Print, 0.2mm Layers, Fine, 40 degree supports. Density settings as desired.
2)Extract a pin from a PCB header. Using long nose pliers to squeeze between the short end of the pin and the black plastic works well. (I used side cutters as pliers in an act of desperation)
3)Insert the pin into the 3D printed tool. Hold the pin vertically on a hard surface (that you don't mind damaging) and slowly push down the tool onto the pin. Careful not to bend the pin.
4)Use to poke out ABS stuck in those annoying holes ;)

I have
bought a UP! Mini 3D Printer a week ago and I am very disappointed with it. The
platform came completely unsquared. I am tired to contact the department
sale. pp3dp people will joke with you
and will not give you a real solution to the platform problem. They will tell
you that there is a calibration soft, but the real issue is the hardware. There
is no way to calibrate it. The printer is made so cheaply that due to the
plastic tiny clips that sustains the linear carriage it will fall part very
soon. Mine has already one clip broken. I hope no one more will buy this
horrible, chip printer.
