This handy tool also allows for a reach in to grab a pesky little string and for lack of better word gob that might interfere with a print before it fails. It also helps keep me from destroying the plastic razer blades which I often find myself reaching in with to clean off the nozzle before it prints….instead of only using them to clean of any residue off the build plate.

The serrated edge on both sizes I think will also help with just about anything and I can see these being useful for other things as well…like if you're at a drive through and they didn't give you a fork and you find yourself needing one….

I didn't print with brim and I chose 25% infill, 3 walls, 0.2 layer and concentric top and bottom finish.  

A utility print for that last bit of filament on your roll!

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Inspired by @Fredslund simple Nozzle Cleaner, I remixed it to make it about double the original length and then added a sloping bit in the middle of the fork to aid in cleaning that little bit of drizzle off of the end of the nozzle before it prints which sometimes doesn't get left with the initial extrusion line that my Elegoo Neptune 3 Pros and 4 Plus does before printing.
