Cleaning 3d Printer Nozzles Using Milling Machine Bits - Save $$$

When your 3d printer nozzles get clogged, you can clean them with easily available milling bits. This video shows how I do it.

I suggest getting higher quality nickel plated 3d printer nozzles like the MicroSwiss I use:

They will stand up better to cleaning than a brass nozzle which is a lot softer.
If you clean the more expensive nozzles, you can reuse them many times and overall it will save you money and you'll have better prints because the tolerances of the more expensive nozzle are better.
