ORIGINAL PRUSA NOZZLE CLEANER

I created this to work with the original Prusa supplied nozzle cleaning pin that comes with their 3D printers. However, it will work with any pin you use to clean your nozzles. Simply print both parts, install the pin into the hole, and secure it with an M3 screw. Do not over tighten.

The pin holder has a cap that screws on so that you may neatly store it in a tool box or container without losing the pin or poking yourself when you try to grab it. 

Print Instructions:

Print using PLA. If you use PETG, the threads might be too tight to fully screw in without damaging. I used Prusament PLA Galaxy Black. 

For print settings, I used 20% infill, brim enabled and set to 8 for brim width/size, 0.15mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle on a smooth sheet.

When you open the STL file in slicer, MAKE SURE TO POSITION THE LONG CAP/BODY ON THE BOTTOM FACE (THE PART WITHOUT THE THREADS). In other words, the threads/holes should always be facing upwards and not contact the surface of the print bed. 

Also set the seam position to RANDOM FOR THE LONG BODY ONLY. You do not have to set seam position to random for the part that holds the pin itself.  

Note that the first time you thread the two parts together, it will be difficult. However, after fully threading and removing a few times it becomes very easy to thread all the way if you use PLA.
