Thank's for your efforts! 👍

@karl-herbert

What are you using them for?
I have really no idea where to use them on the printer.

But you never know - maybe there is a reason that I need this tool!

Best regards, Clemens

Sorry - that was only half information:

I mean these (WIG electrodes in differend diameters)

I can sum that up.  I used to use brass rods and was on fo the fist to try it.  When you get a jam or broken filament, I use them to push the filament out.  

Steps:

  1. Heat your hotend
  2. Disengage your extruder (model depending)
  3. Remove nozzle
  4. Gently push the rod down through the PTFE tube and hotend.  Repeat until no filament comes out.  

You can go this with hotend installed or with a heat gun and uninstalled.  I use two sizes. 0.4 mm or 1.6mm.  I have added a link to Amazon (US) in the sized above.  

Warning!!!  Do not touch and heated metal with your hands if your fingerprints are important to you.

charles-h13 has explained it very clearly. The electrodes are made of tough and heat resistant material, are practically indestructible, not expensive and the diameters fit well for many applications on the MK3. It's appreciated when you work a lot on the printer.

Interestingly, I found several tool kits on Amazon.  

Tool kits:

  1. Filament Friday 3D Print Tool Kit
  2. AMX3d Pro Grade 3D Printer Tool Kit
  3. Glarks 40Pcs 3D Printer Removal Cleaning Tool Kit
  4. Rustark 42 Piece 3D Print Tool Kit

They are the expensive side but appear to be a good choice if you are just starting out.

I would recommend one of these kits, or perhaps a combination of them to any novice or advanced 3D printing enthusiast. You can never have enough or too much tools (my opinion as an old mechanic) 🙂

RE: Tools: What do you recommend?

I never had problems which made that possible on my printers - could have many reasons: luck, luck, luck and maybe in comparison to you I am just a hobby printer (since August 2017) which is not permanently printing on his printers.

Nevertheless - I thing I will order a kit of these stiff electrodes - I agree with you: you never can have too much tools

This is one of the tools I reach for a lot and haven't seen it listed yet:

https://www.amazon.com/iGaging-36-LED10-Measuring-Magnifier-Illuminated/dp/B00JHPTK28

Very good for inspecting the first layer for the right amount of squish as well as debugging other print issues.  There are cheaper versions available (as well as more expensive).

Good for people who have some problems with their eyelight - but delivery to Austria is not that cheap! Have to finde something compareable which is available in Austria.

Or something like this: 10X Magnification Hobby Loop with Scale

This is a little more affordable.

I think these are all useful products, but the shipping and customs costs to austria are always very high:

Thanks, but it is not always as easy as in the case of these nozzles: https://www.3dmakerengineering.com/products/tungsten-carbide-3d-printer-nozzle?variant=14784857145399

This type of construction is hard to find in Europe and as I can see right now the 0.4s are sold out too.

I'll probably test one of these nozzles instead: https://www.mapa-refining.de/produkte/

Maybe somebody already had some experience with it?

At least you can get the 3D Solex nozzles without crazy postage!
