Essential tool for everyone who owns a 3D printer!

Pros: Total time saver when you have a clogged head.
Even more efficient at clearing a clog than Monoprice states.

Cons: Absolutely none!

Monoprice sent me their Premium 3D Printer Filament 1.75MM 0.1kg/spool Cleaning Filament (Product 12504) to evaluate. I’ll start by saying that I am totally impressed by this product. I have seen cleaning filament from other companies, but never considered buying any.

If you have used a 3D printer for a while, one thing is certain—you are familiar with nozzle clogs. I have my system of using old guitar strings, tiny drill bits, acetone, butane torches and plenty of time to clean clogged nozzles. About a year ago, I purchased extra nozzles for my E3Dv6 so that I could instantly swap out a clogged nozzle for a new or cleaned one. Even so, it is always a pain to swap nozzles when I’d rather be printing. And in the process of swapping nozzle, I sometimes threw something out of alignment, unleveled the bed or most recently, broke the leads on the thermal resister—a total pain to repair.

Enter Monoprice’s cleaning filament. As I mentioned, I usually have a clogged nozzle or two hanging around to clean. So, I popped one onto my Prusa i3. Sure enough, extruding PLA filament was thin and curling back onto the heat block. So, I loaded the cleaning filament, set the extruder at 225c Made a tick mark 300mm into the filament (Monoprice suggests printing 12” between 160c and 260c) Then I extruded the cleaning filament.

I went in with minimal hope. The first 50mm, or so, extruded were thin and inconsistent like the PLA I initially tried to print. Around 100mm I saw signs of life in the old nozzle. By 150mm, and to my surprise, the nozzle was printing like new!!! I stopped extruding at 200mm—about 100mm shy of what Monoprice recommends.

At around $10, this product is a Godsend and a steal at the same time! I can’t imagine how much time and money I could have saved if I discovered this filament earlier. My initial impressions are all positive. I will have to include this cleaning filament in my maintenance routine to see if the abrasive nature of the filament has any long-term effects on the nozzle diameter. For now, I am a happy camper with more print time and less clog time!
