Cleaning the nozzle

If an excessive amount of polymer debris builds up around the nozzle, it may block 
it. For this reason, we recommend that you periodically clean the nozzle with a wire 
brush (fig. 6.1). 

If a blockage occurs, your Witbox also includes a set of two cleaning needles that you 

can use to unblock the nozzle. Below we explain how to unblock and/or clean the 
nozzle and keep it in optimum condition:

1

   First, load the filament in order to check whether the nozzle is genuinely blocked. 

To do this, follow the step-by-step instructions on page 25.

2

   If you’re sure the nozzle is definitely blocked, unload the filament before you start 

the cleaning process. To do this, follow the instructions on page 28.

3

   Detach the Fibonacci guide tube from the extruder by pressing down on the 

connector and pulling the tube upwards (fig. 6.2).
