Cleaning ABS juice spray sprinkler ?

Hi,

I have an issue with the ABS spray (the one provided with my printer) which seems a bit clogged, it does not spray mist anymore.

What is the best way to clean it without damaging it ? Did you have the same issue ?

Thanks for any hint.

I would guess that the best cleaning solution would be pure acetone (not the finger nail stuff...)

Put the top of the spray bottle into some acetone over night to soak. In the morning it will be fine.

Thanks for the tips guys, the top of the spray is right now soaking in a small botlle full of acetone, I will check the result this evening.

By the way I'd like to print a small funnel to ease filling up small recipient from my 5L acetone container. ABS is of course out, but between PET and PLA, which is the best filament for that ?

For the funnel, I would suggest PLA; I think you would be able to over-extrude slightly and increase temp a tad to ensure no gaps. PLA would probably be easier to ensure no delamination occurs.
