Nozzle Cleaning and Removal Tool

prusaprinters

<p>This tool serves two purpose:</p><ul><li>Remove printer nozzle</li><li>Guide acupuncture needle to clean the nozzle passage</li></ul><p>M7 socket with ¼" square opening is required for E3D nozzle.</p><p>The metal socket allow the tool to be used with nozzle while it is still hot. &nbsp;Do not leave the tool on the hot nozzle for too long, it may melt the plastic part.</p><p>To clean the nozzle. &nbsp;Slide the socket and handle over the nozzle, then extend the acupuncture needle into the nozzle to clear the passage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The printed needle hole size may differ depending on the printer. &nbsp;So you may need to try a few different ones. &nbsp;For me, I used the 0.6mm stl model to fit the 0.3mm acupuncture needle.</p><p>Note: It may be difficult to insert the acupuncture needle into the tool initially. Try inserting the needle from the nozzle end first.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can check out my useful prints at <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/76585-highrise-workshop/prints">https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/76585-highrise-workshop/prints</a>. &nbsp;And don't forget to click the “Like” button.</p>
