Title: Want a killer Tool for cleaning your nozzle?
Post by: Privateer on October 03, 2022, 03:10:35 PM
I found this and showed it to Matt.
He and I both are ordering one as it's the best thing I've seen for cleaning a nozzle between color changes, or clearing a clog.
Super simple and fast!

The handful of times I have had a clogged nozzle I always just unscrew it and heat it up with a torch in the garage. If for some reason it doesn't want to unscrew from the hotend I will take the whole thing apart and torch it.

Did it that way 2-3 times and the nuzzle and hot end were like new when they cooled.

Yep. That's the hard long way.
This is a really FAST way to avoid that hassle.

Appears to be a piece of music wire with a handle. And a slightly pointed tip so it will drift.

Three almost four years of 3D printing with three machines running and I have only had to do it three maybe four times. Two of them were in the same day due to some bad filament that I didn't realize was the problem the first time around.

This is a tool looking for a job imo.

I just replace the nozzle and be done with it.
I have only had one clog on me and that was my fault.
As far as color changes I have found that
using max heat for the material and a few purges does the trick.
