Cleaning Tool Drill Bit 0.4mm Size for Extruder
Cleaning Tool Drill Bit 0.4mm Size for Extruder:
- An essential gadget for maintaining the nozzles on your 3D printer is a 0.4mm nozzle cleaning drill.
- It operates with nozzles that are at least 0.4 mm in diameter and is ideal for difficult blockages.
- To use it, manually twist the drill bit to clear any blockages after heating your hot end to the same temperature as the clogged filament.
How to use:
- The nozzle you want to clean should be heated to the recommended printing temperature.
- As directed by the manufacturer of your printer, unload any existing filament.
- The heated nozzle should be gently removed from the heat block while it is still at printing temperature.
- With caution not to enlarge the nozzle hole, carefully insert the drill bit into the nozzle by hand, working from the inside out (following the filament's course).
- Re-heat the heat block to operating temperature after clearing any obstructions, then refit the nozzle (avoid overtightening).
- Before printing, level your print bed again.
Remember these usage tips:
- A 3D printer's nozzle should never be taken out of the machine before it has reached its maximum operational temperature.
- The drill bit should not be fastened to any power instrument.
- Because the drill bits are comprised of hardened tungsten alloy, use caution when applying excessive force.
- To remove built-up plastic, immerse the cooled drill bit in a solvent after usage.
