I think we all know the frustration that can come from residue on the nozzle which can leave blobs on the print or even ruined it completely. well here is a very simple solution!

I have been using this nozzle cleaner for over a year and it works very well.

Use:

when the printer is heating up there is usually a bit of extrusion going on, and before the printer starts leveling, simply swipe the V-shape of the nozzle cleaner over the tip of the nozzle, this will cause the filament to get stuck to the nozzle cleaner which you can then remove with your fingers.
When the printer is done leveling and starts to extrude the first line in the outer left corner of the bed, simply drag the saw-side of the nozzle cleaner along the side of the nozzle (wherever there seems to be residue), this will cause the residue to get stuck to the nozzle cleaner or to the extrusion line, in any case it will no longer be in the nozzle.

Printing:

i have printed my own in PETG and that work very well, this could be done in any material but the material will affect the lifespan of the model.
you can either use the G-code I made or make your own.

Good Luck & Happy Printing!!

We can all agree that big elaborate prints are incredible, and we love seeing the power of these machines that we have all come to love, but sometimes you just want something now, not days from now. For example, over the last 10 years of demoing 3D printing at events, I have learned one thing for sure, showing good fast practical prints is a sure-fire way to show off the power of 3D printing. When you are demoing this tech, whether if it\u2019s to hundreds of people at a Maker Faire or just to your family, people want to see the process from start to finish and not in a few hours. Even if you are just printing for yourself, sometimes you just want something cool and fast to print.

\r\n\r\n

If you have a need for speed, our newest competition is for you. We are looking for fast practical prints for this round of competition. That\u2019s right, they shouldn\u2019t just be fast, they should have a purpose too. This extra element to the challenge will hopefully help get the creativity going in your awesome brains.

\r\n\r\n

This competition will come with some unique requirements. As we stated above, your design must serve a useful function and since this is all about fast prints, it will need to print in under an hour, the faster the better.
