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
