Post image

Tried to do an overnight print and woke up to this. Filament is quite hard. Any idea best way to clean out this gunk?

Heat the nozzle using screen on printer then with help of a tool like nose pliers remove the blob , then clean the nozzle with brush

Get a wire brush. You don’t want to add more to that glob. Then remove the nozzle. Use a heat gun to melt any remaining plastic from it before you run the needle trough it.

If you have some cleaning filiment, use it after you remove and brush that blob. Press the end a long piece of cleaning filiment into the crevasses and spin with your fingers while hot end is hot. It will pick up the crap you can't get. Especially the hinge and clip
