I have a 0.35mm nozzle that when it extrudes the molten filament will curl up and try to melt onto the nozzle. I read somewhere that this is behaviour of a partially clogged nozzle. 1) What is the best way to clear a PLA blockage? 2) I am going to be switching to ABS in a few weeks so what is the best way to clear that blockage? 3) I have a rubbery makeup pad remover slit and surrounding the filament after it leaves the reel to try and wipe any dust off of it but it does not seem to work, what are some ideas for cleaning as your printing? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208229#msg-208229 Tue, 21 Jul 2026 03:55:21 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208505#msg-208505 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208505#msg-208505 uMinded General Tue, 14 May 2013 07:06:58 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208449#msg-208449 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208449#msg-208449 waitaki General Tue, 14 May 2013 01:14:12 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208242#msg-208242 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208242#msg-208242 NewPerfection General Mon, 13 May 2013 10:56:56 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208229#msg-208229 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,208229,208229#msg-208229
