Suggestions for cleaning nozzle (& gears?) after using CF infused filaments
Stupid question really, but has anybody figured out any good way to cleanse a nozzle after printing in carbon fibre infused filaments?
I just switched straight to PETG after printing in Prusament PP-CF and notice a residue on the next print which I think is CF fibres. I've also experienced something similar on other printers, its not just a Prusa thing. In the "old days" a good cleaning filament would do a good job of cleaning up abraisives, but is this still the best way?
I'd assume at some point its going to be all over the gears too, right?

I print a lot of CF. I use a separate nozzles for CF and "regular" materials. Otherwise I would just do several purges before starting the print.
