This is a small thumb key to help screw the Nextruder in use with the Mk4 and XL. Don't use with a hot nozzle!

Introduction

This accessory will be used in one of my projects currently being developed for the PRUSA Mk4. Although I'm aware that there are several solutions for this purpose, I have chosen another option that will fit into the aesthetic I have planned.

And is extremely easy and fast to print.

How to use

The usage is simple:

Unload the filament.
Increase the temperature of the nozzle to 250ºC to clean any material remains.
- You may want to clean the nozzle with a metallic small brush (Danger: Very hot nozzle, don't touch it)!
  - If you have a silicon sock, be careful, it will be better to remove it first with the nozzle cold.
With the nozzle cold (below the glass transition temperature of the material you will use for printing the key) and ensuring not to burn yourself; use the key to remove the nozzle.
- This should be done following the instructions provided by PRUSA
