Filament dusters are an easy way to help prevent nozzle clogs owing to dust/particulates that adhere to the filament. However, I ALWAYS forget to feed the filament through the duster…I think you see where this is going.
There are several great models out there, and I am standing on the shoulders of giants here. This 2-piece filament duster is threaded (easy to print) to allow for it to be easily added/removed after the filament is loaded into the extruder. Although the thread is designed to be forgiving, ensure that your printer is well calibrated.
I tend to use the Swiffer (and/or generic) dry sweeping cloths as the duster material. But, you can also cut a sponge or similar material to fit. I do not advise using paper towel or toilet paper, as they tend to shed fine particulates/lint.
Happy clog-preventive printing!
Disclaimer: this will not prevent clogging due to heat creep. Goodluck with that…you'll need it.
