	Benefits of cleaning filament		Disadvantages of cleaning filament
	Efficient cleaning		Only works for partial blockages
	Minimum mechanical stress on printer parts

Tip for printing with cleaning filament:

• Keep using cleaning filament until the filament coming out of the hot end is clean.

• Use cleaning filament every time you change filament. Not only can a blockage by filament residues cause problems, but residue from the previous filament colour can also cause irritation. These residues can mix with the new filament colour, creating a mix of colours in your print.

• If you always use the same type of filament, clean your printer with cleaning filament after 200-400 hours of use.
