Hot-end Purge Tool Handle

prusaprinters

<p>A handle for a 1.5 mm steel rod. Can be used for purging the filiment from a prusa i3Mk3 series (or probably most printer types) hot-end in the event of a blockage. While not quite the same diameter as filament, I have found that the 1.5 mm rod can help clear a blocked hot-end.</p> <ul> <li>Added a simple guard for the working end of the rod.</li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><ul> <li>Prints without supports.</li> <li>I use a Round Steel Rod, 1.5mm HSS Lathe Bar Stock Tool 100mm Long in the handle.</li> <li>The rod tight push-fits into the handle. Please be very careful inserting the rod into the handle!!! The aim is to get the rod into the handle <strong>not</strong> your hand, or furniture surfaces, or the cat, etc.</li> <li>I keep a cork, or a printed guard, on the sharp end when not in use, sensible I am!</li> </ul>
