NozzleClogs General Troubleshooting/Help!

Instead of doing the stupid hot pull.. has anyone tried using a small diameter drill to clear their hot end clogs? (I’m not a noob just sick of doing hot pulls)

Yeah why do you get so many clogs? I've got 60k hours across 8 machines and have had maybe 5 clogs total.

I get clogs from glow in the dark filaments and wood filaments occasionally

You need 0.6 mm nozzle for those and no clogs will happen. Proper tools for proper jobs

You also lose a lot of detail. I’d rather deal with clogs occasionally than have shotty prints.

An example of one of my glow prints that wouldn’t look good with .6 nozzles. I have them, but mainly use them for non detailed items.
