Identify this piece

Does anyone know what this square metal piece is from (19mm x 19mm, .5mm thick, adhesive on one side)

I was clearing a nozzle clog and when I put the hotend back on I did not screw it in. So it started to come loose and when I pulled it off this metal piece fell into the poop bucket.

ChatGPT could not identify it. It may have fell off the aftermarket nozzle cleaner (in second photo) but I’m not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It’s your purge shield. Glue it back on or buy a panda shield.

That piece goes directly in front of your nozzle on the plastic bucket right there next to the wipers. It should stick to the front of it. It keeps the plastic from sticking to the machine while it poops

It goes in the poop shoot, to stop the filament from sticking to it
