What is cleaning filament

Published: Monday, 13 September, 2024

When it comes to maintaining and caring for your 3D printer, a high-quality cleaning filament is essential. Our cleaning filament offers an effective solution to prevent clogging, improve print quality, and extend the life of your printer. In this post, you will learn why our cleaning filament is the best choice for your 3D printing needs.

WHY USE A CLEANING FILAMENT?

During 3D printing, leftover filament, dust and other particles can build up in the nozzle. These deposits can cause blockages that affect print quality and, in the worst case, damage the nozzle. A cleaning filament helps remove these residues by flushing the nozzle and keeping it clean.

ADVANTAGES

High efficiency : Our cleaning filament is specially designed to loosen even the most stubborn blockages. It also reaches hard-to-reach places in the nozzle and removes deposits thoroughly.

Easy to use : Using our cleaning filament is extremely easy. Simply insert the cleaning filament into the printer as usual and run it through at a medium temperature. Within a few minutes, your nozzle will be clean and ready for use again.

Longer life of your printer : Regular cleaning with our filament reduces wear on the nozzle and other components, which extends the life of your printer and keeps the print quality consistently high.

Cost-effective : By avoiding blockages and the associated repairs or replacement of parts, you save money in the long run. Our cleaning filament is a small investment with a big impact.


APPLICATION

First step: Remove the loaded filament from the nozzle and heat the hotend to the required temperature (e.g. PLA+).

Second step: Heat the nozzle to 230 °C and load the cleaning filament.

Third step: Then extrude the cleaning filament as long as necessary until it comes out of the nozzle clean and smooth.

Fourth step: Now let the hot end cool down to about 120 °C and immediately pull the cleaning filament out of the hot end with a bold tug. Any deposits in it will usually be completely removed if you use it twice.
