Cleaning Nozzle after color change?


Folks,  I changed filaments after a few layers on a recent print and had a problem with excess filament on the nozzle after the change.   In this case, I went from TPU to PETG, but this has also happened with merely changing from 1 color PLA to another color:   the filament change leaves too much filament on the nozzle, messing up the print.

Am I missing a setting in PrusaSlicer?

Is there a software / hardware change that's needed?

Thanks!

Filament curling up and sticking to the nozzle is sometimes a symptom of nozzle wear and sometimes of damp filament - but TPU is more likely than most to stick to coated and ceramic nozzles.

About the only setting that might be worth changing is the Purge Volume.

Cheerio,
