What does "curl nicely" look like?

Over on help.prusa3d.com there's a write up on nozzle clogs where it states "Also, early signs of the nozzle starting to clog can be seen when the filament poured out of the nozzle does not curl nicely". Can anyone point me to a video or an image of what that actually looks like? Thanks in advance!

Hi Kenneth,

I can't show a clog, but this might count as curling nicely

regards Joan

I actually would not have thought of that. Good pic.

Does that part cooling schnozzle help with cooling, Joan?

I feel the one I have helps move some warm air away from the extruder. I have the same one 😀

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

I saw the fan duct,
Printed it an d fitted it, just in case,

Can't say it helps with anything except ensuring that anything you drop in that area, meets your part cooling fan, intimately...

I have one on My MMU2 machine too, it is incompatible with the angled fan, so at the moment I still have the vertical fan fitted...
