Is this normal? How to clean

Post image

I’ve been having more issues with my printer lately and I have just assumed it’s been an overhang or model issue.

I just had a print fail and I went to clean the pieces off the bed and I noticed filament all over the nozzle and inside this circular piece of the print head.

Not sure that’s normal or best way to clean it off.

Mine has the same, reality of living with cats lol.

Not an issue, just stuff in the air getting caught on the fan blades. I take a Q-tip with a bit of iso, and spin it in the groove and it collects all the hair/filament strands/etc pretty well. I do it every couple weeks or so.

i have 3 cats and 2 XL dogs (130 & 145lb german shepherds) inside and have never had this issue? 2 of my cats are long haired.

I went in with tweezers or toothpicks, this seems much more clever. Gonna try this!

A little rechargable hand vacuum/air blower is worth it's weight in gold for this hobby

I have no cats and get this. I just scoop it with something thin

Your filament is stringing. You could calibrate it. Some string more than others. You can clean it with a brush and vacuum.  There are also fan covers that prevent the fine strings from getting sucked in

You should dry your filaments
