Keeping the hotends clean is crucial in obtaining quality prints
Follow the steps on the video below to clean the hotends.
Be careful when pulling the filament from the hotend to prevent any possible damage to the printing head
Note: It is recommended to clean the hotend periodically and, most importantly, every time you switch materials. Ideally, use a piece of nylon filament to perform this operation.
Don't forget to keep the tip of the nozzle clean to prevent model imperfections and material mixing.
You can heat the hotend and use a piece of paper to remove the fused material remains.
