AprintaPro's Nozzle Cleaningfilament is a filament that allows for easy removal of residue in the hot end, thus improving print quality.
In fact, the nozzles of your FDM 3D printer can get clogged on several occasions. With this cleaning thread you can get a clean nozzle in minutes.
A cold pull works best with high quality soft and slippery materials such as Nylon filament. Here is the procedure:
- Remove the loaded filament from the nozzle
- Heat the nozzle to 255-275°C
- Push the cleaning filament as far as possible through the hotend. In standard plugging situations this step allows for removal.
- Allow the hot-end to cool to about 120°C and push the cleaning filament from the hot-end until it is released from the nozzle.
- Cut impurities from the cleaning filament and repeat steps 2 through 5 until the Cleaningfilament is smoothly extruded through the nozzle and removed without impurities. Usually 2 or 3 passes are needed.
