Title basically.

Obviously, cold nozzle + filament on it from my last print = the printer thinks the nozzle is lower than it actually is.

Preheating the nozzle helps some, but if I want true consistency I need to mechanically whipe the nozzle/grab the bit of plastic that oozes out with a pair of needle nose pliers.

I know nozzle brush mods are a thing, but aren’t the hard on your nozzle? Does anyone have any alternative ideas?

    Thanks for the information. I do have a hardened nozzle, glad to hear that a brass brush won’t abrade it over time.

      I wouldn’t worry, brass is usually way softer than most metals and if you do completely crazy on it there shouldn’t be a problem.

      Brass is also used for bearing, so it wears out before e.g. the steel axle in it does.
