Comment on Help me identify a filament's material

Could be some sort of purge filament. They’re meant to be run at high temperatures and forced through the nozzle so that they can flush out any leftover material stuck inside.

Interesting… I didn’t know purge filament existed. In fact, I wondered what would happen if I ever ran something that truly gummed up the nozzle, if I’d have to replace it entirely or something.

Brass nozzles are cheap. Cheaper than a length of purge filament. But if you’re using a specialty nozzle, it can certainly be worth a good purge before throwing out an otherwise fine nozzle.
