Filament Path Alignment and Clearing Tool

Description

Primarily for a direct extruder machine, this is a steel rod, approximately 1.6mm in diameter and about 200mm long with a button top.  It can be inserted into the filament path of a direct extruder machine during assembly to align all of the extruder parts, ensuing a clear filament path to the hot end.  It is also often used to clear minor filament clogs in the throat by pushing bits of hardened filament down to the nozzle.  BE CAREFUL in this latter use.  The tool can snap if pushed too hard.  If the clog does not dislodge with fairly light pressure, you need to disassemble the extruder.
