For best results:
- It is not recommended to use the AMS.
- Your kaikaFIN Nozzle must be tightened to 2 Nm.
- Do not print any filled filaments with the 0.1 mm nozzles, including carbon fiber, glass fiber, wood, hemp, glitter, glow fill, or any other fillers.
- If the previous print used filled filaments with a different-sized nozzle, clear the hotend of that filament before switching to the 0.1 mm nozzle.
- Make sure to print with a well-maintained and clean machine! Any debris and/or dust on your filament can easily block the nozzle and cause a clog.
If a clog does occur, use these methods to clear the clog:
- Use acupuncture needles or piano wire
- Heat the nozzle to the printing temperature of the filament you are using, or slightly higher
- Remove the filament if it is still loaded
- Carefully insert the acupuncture needle upward through the nozzle hole
- Gently move the needle to dislodge the debris; you may need to do this multiple times
- Try to extrude the filament to see if the clog is cleared
- Heat the nozzle to 220°C and extrude a little.
- Cool down the hotend to < 40 °C.
- Raise the temperature to 85 °C.
- Once it hits 85 °C, start retracting the filament until the extruder can no longer move it.
- Very slowly pull on the filament until it is completely out.
- Repeat if necessary.
