    Hi, my print just messed up and now it got stuck onto the nozzle and part of the hot end. How would I clean that without taking it off, do I use acetone or something?? Thanks!

    Raise the extruder, heat the hotend to above the temp that your plastic melts and pull the glob away.

    Don't use your bare hands.
