			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Just sharing my experience with the Esun Cleaning filament.<br />I bought mine from Amazon. <br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Printer-CLEANING-Filament-Makerbot-Printers/dp/B00MVIYNFW">http://www.amazon.com/Printer-CLEANING- … B00MVIYNFW</a></p><p><strong>First thoughts..</strong><br />it&#039;s a soft filament (licorice whip, Red Vine candy soft), with a bit of texture. <br />How on earth will this get the crud out of the extruder?</p><p><strong>End thoughts...</strong><br />Pretty good, it got my filaments flowing smoothly again.<br />Went from inconsistent flow, to smoother flow and improved prints.</p><p><strong>Experience:</strong><br />I cut about 3&#039; piece just enough to get through the tube to the print head.<br />Loaded it like any other filament, used 230 Deg print temp, Maximum Esun recommended range.<br /><em>I had a really congested nozzle I was hoping to clear, the poking wire wasn&#039;t clearing.</em></p><p>Filament started to flow just a little bit, then nothing else came out.<br />Checked all points where it could jam up. Eventually finding it all <em>wound up in the feeder gears</em>.<br />Once I got that cleaned up, I tried manually feeding the filament through the top of the extruder during the loading process.<br />Just pulled the tube out of the top and fed the filament, fingernails helped grip and gently push.</p><p>Eventually the previous filament started to flow out, curling and swirling as it came, eventually it started to change to clear. <br />kept feeding manually for about 5 more inches. Progressively the extrusion smoothed out and didn&#039;t curl up, a nice smooth stream.</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?6noNS3y.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?6noNS3y.jpg" /></span><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?FItJ4D9.png" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?FItJ4D9.png" /></span></p>]]></content>
