Nozzle Cleaning Operation
Cleaning the nozzles is highly recommended after each material change, but most importantly if you're
changing to a different material, or a different colored material. When you unload any material, the inside
of the nozzle is not always completely clean, and there may be some filament left inside the nozzle.
Running the Nozzle Cleaning operation a few times will help remove the left-over material.
