Yea, I did that. Tired of my nylon block loosening up and have the extruder pitch forward on fast moves.

We've been through this what, a dozen times? How long have you known me? Have I ever led you astray? Hell no!

All we have to do now is figure out a way to get some Kapton in there. Can't have a damn mod without Kapton, can we? Maybe we could Kapton a little sign with an arrow that says "Pipe Cleaner - don't ask".  ;^)

Works great for removing the heat-up drool.

Both ends are curled up to cross each other right where the nozzle moves to/from the Park position. I use the Dr. Grabow brand with the stiff bristles (there is also a fuzzy type but I don't think it would work as well).

Works like a charm.
