-Cleaning the hot end nozzle tip is required quite often compared to other components of the 3D printer. Dust ingression through the filament supply system, coking of material, and storage in a dusty place may lead to clogging of the tip's bore.\\ An imprecisely (too closely) leveled print bed, too low extrusion temperatures or too high an extrusion speed can lead the nozzle tip choking itself.\\ ​+Cleaning the hot end nozzle tip is required quite often compared to other components of the 3D printer.

 In any of these cases, a decreasing print quality and slipping of the drive gear will be the first visible effects. Removing and cleaning the nozzle tip is then necessary; the [[#​Remedying clogging|description below]] should remedy the problem, as long as no hardware defect is present.\\ \\ In any of these cases, a decreasing print quality and slipping of the drive gear will be the first visible effects.
