    Do you see a huge difference with cleaning filament? I have been seeing it pop up lately, but I haven’t had any issues not using it since 2017.

      I haven’t had my printer clog up completely anymore since I started using it. That’s the advantage I’m seeing.

        Oh, did you have an issue with clogging before using it? It is not something I deal with often enough to buy a consumable to fix

          A couple of times. It depends on the printer, the filament and the user. While the cleaning filament is a consumable, it’ll probably outlast my printer, since you only need to use a few centimeters per cleaning.

            Got ya. Glad it doesn’t use much, that was going to be my next question. The only time I have had clogging is when using a many year old filament with bad dimensional accuracy that I did not run it through my dryer. So that is 100% on me.

            Still running a V1 Ender 3 pro, though it does have a couple minor upgrades, but that thing is a surprising workhorse
