The Must-Have 3D Printing Tool 3D Printer Extruder Nozzle Cleaning (Blue)

Best thing I've ever bought for this cost for my filament printers. Has been so helpful with clogs and cleaning my printer. Well worth the cost.

I purchased this about a year ago. It is perfect for getting clogs out! I wish I had found it sooner. This one is from a small business in the USA! They were making these before the other bigger companies were. Yes the handle is 3D printed but it works great. They include a link to download a couple additional accessories that you can 3D print yourself which I like. I do think they should included a basic tip cover with it. I am a small business owner and I try and support other small businesses when I can. So I am more than happy to pay a couple more dollars to get this one! Mine still is working perfectly for me. I am purchasing another as a gift for my neighbors grandson that is just getting started in 3D printing!

I have no idea how I could missed out on purchase this tool. I been using it to clear out heatsink and clear out clogs and it is worth every penny that I purchase. However, I do wish that these come in different size. I had a situation where this size does not work due to short length. I had a filament broke and got stuck in Bowden tube. I am stuck because I want to salvage the Bowden tube without have to cut it in half so this device can clear out the broken filament piece.Otherwise it is important piece of tool that you will not regret when working with 3d printers.Cheers!

Well, what all the other reviews say is true... The handle seems 3D printed. It's not a bad thing, just not what you generally expect from a quality tool - but, hopefully you won't be using this to pop locks or jimmy cars open... so.. all is well. The part where I take issue with this tool is that you have to take the tool head off to use it, instead of going up from the nozzle end and unclogging it there, as I did with the tool that came with my Bambu Labs P1S (That thin tool snapped within a few uses). After taking the tool head off, the tool is so long and unwieldy that it feels more like a burden-some ice pick rather than an unjamming tool. The tool is as long and tall as the print bed depth of the whole unit is. I'm sure it works fine in an open-air unit, but my enclosed P1S with an extruder stacked on top of the nozzle requires disassembly before I can even think about using the tool... and then I'm basically trying to keep the nozzle plugged in and hot to push out the jam while also trying to feed in a 2 foot long tool.In addition, and possibly the biggest grievance is that the metal shaft or rod of the tool has clearly been run thru some kind of roller system in an attempt to get it straight, but only accomplished making a wavy metal rod that resembles a straight piece of metal. Now, granted, this thing is no banana, but you can feel the wavy bends between your fingers and see it when you look at the tool. Made for a 1.75 mm nozzle, it comes in at 1.59 mm thick. Now, that's not a bad thing. You want some gap between the inner wall of the nozzle and the tool. It also comes with a free razor blade to clean the tip.In the instructions you get a paragraph telling you to .. 3D print a cap for the .. tool you just purchased, with a 3D printed handle...? Why isn't this included? If I'm already paying you for a 3D printed handle and a bendy poorly straightened metal rod, is it so much trouble to include a 3D printed safety cap...?!The tip geometry seems good - hopefully it will last a few jams and serve me well.

Yes, the handle is 3D printed, but I don't know why you'd care about that.I use this with my Elegoo Neptune 4 Max. Any time I have a clog, I go to this tool and it clears it up IMMEDIATELY. I also use it at the end of my print sessions to clear out excessive leftover filament. I can't imagine 3D printing without this.

A friend of mine recommended this tool. I thought I would give it a try. The handle is 3D printed. The metal shaft has a sharp tip. (you can print an optional protector) It came with razor blades to clean it if you need to.I was using small hex or allen wrenches to push through clogs but this works better. It would only work with a straight filament path or almost straight.I find this a bit easier than the allen. Neat idea. Glad I bought it.

This so called "tool" is nothing more than an oversized sewing needle with a cheap handle that was clearly 3d printed. The diameter of the needle is to narrow to push filament out of a standard heat block and just makes a mess and at the same time its way to big to actually push filament through a .4 mm nozzle. This was a complete, waste of money and time and just made a huge mess.

Maybe I should have read the description.... its not a bad part, that's why the three stars. Would have been 5 stars. Pictured 3, one arrives. Not molded, 3d printed. Fair enough I guess. The print quality is very good there's now doubt, but it feels very hollow, very light. It's a good tool, just a lot of money for what you get. Seller, perhaps picture one in the main picture, show all three colors in the second one if you want. Seriously thought I was getting three, would have been worth the price for 3. Now I know how to make one so I'll never buy another. Poor value for money. Poor description, decent product. Great print quality tho, extremely slow shipping.
