Using Endodontic/Dental Files to clean your nozzle
Channel: Practical Printing
Date: 2017-07-12

My dentist turned my onto a great tool for clearing jams in the tip of your nozzle. Its called an Endodontic (or Dental) file and its works great!

Worth noting that using any kind of mechanical device (dental file, drill bit, etc.) does risk the chance of scratching you nozzle, so it should only be used when non-invasive methods of clearing the jam (such as Atomic Pulls) don't work.

Your best resource for these is you own family dentist, but you can also find them online at all of the usual haunts.  For example, here is a set from Amazon:
