snap-on filament cleaner

thingiverse

I discovered an effective solution for minimizing clogging in my 3D printer using a product from Voltivo - their filament cleaner block (http://voltivo.com/product/filament-cleaner-block). This tool has dramatically reduced the occurrence of jams and interruptions in printing, allowing me to continue work efficiently. Initially, I was interested in trying out the blocks but they came with a higher price tag. However, as a result of acquiring two of them through my local 3D printer store's promotional offer, I had an opportunity to experience their benefits firsthand. In addition to reducing clogs, this device is useful for facilitating smooth transitions between filaments. Whenever I need to switch between prints using different materials, I now follow a convenient process - removing the old filament and simply replacing it with the new one. The simplicity of this process saves time and reduces potential disruptions during printing. A practical design feature that further enhances this tool's utility is its multifunctional capability as a holding clip for my filament spools. Prior to using the Voltivo block, I often encountered issues where bent or twisted filaments hindered their storage in my workspace. However, with this innovative product, no such problems persist anymore. I now have the option of effortlessly storing each spool of filament without worrying about them being damaged due to handling stress or space constraints. To utilize this functionality effectively, I simply need to snap the holding clip onto the edge of the spool, thereby making it easier to put back on my shelf for storage purposes when needed.
