  1. Essential Steps on How to Clean 3D Printer Nozzle There are several reasons why a 3D printer nozzle can clog, but the primary factors include improper operation, filament degradation, and component malfunction. Failing to clean your 3D printer nozzle and inappropriate unloading of the filament are among the improper operations of your device. Buying a high-quality filament may be a good idea but what matters most is how best you store them to prevent absorption of moisture and dust, which may result in filament degradation. Moreover, it's best to set your 3D printer at the right temperature at all times to reduce malfunctioning. Below are the essential steps to clean a 3D printer nozzle. Routine cleaning Learning how to clean 3D printer nozzle is a vital step in your printing process as it'll be helpful in case your printer produces low-quality prints. It's important to note that the first step in cleaning the nozzles takes place when the device has cooled down so that you can disassemble the nozzle and clean its exterior surface. Use a cotton swab soaked in anhydrous ethanol to wipe the parts. Clean your device with tweezers after the outer filament is melted. However, you should avoid using harsh tools such as wire brushes because they can destroy the oxide layer of the nozzle's outer surface. Rescue the clogged nozzles Knowing how to clean a 3D printer nozzle when it's clogged is top-tier, but you need to know if the nozzle is clogged from the inside or outside to use proper unclogging techniques. In case it's an inner clog, start by heating up the nozzle, unloading the filament, then inserting a thinner needle, wire, or guitar string to unclog it. In contrast, you should clean the nozzle by following the daily cleaning steps if you notice the tip of the nozzle is covered in residues. This should help you achieve a smoother extrusion of the filament. Remember to take safety precautions such as covering your hands in gloves and putting on other protective wear; you also need to be cautious to prevent burns and other related

Ensure you buy the right cleaning tools to make your cleaning process smooth, fast, and effective. You can even make it a daily habit to free it from abnormalities.
