Think up every swear word you know, because you're gonna need them all.

I have heated it up just until plastic becomes malleable and used a damp cloth. I have also used a soft wire tooth brush to remove

WIRE TOOTH BRUSH?!? BRUH?!?!

OK, you're gonna need some things:

A heat gun, A wire brush, Bandaids, A stiff drink

I heated up the nozzle separately in some boiling water and scraped off almost all of it. Then I put it back into the hot end and heated it up to 200 C, took it back out and q-tipped off a lot of the rest. There's still some but I'm running a print right now and it's working fine.

A SWAT team ready to mobilize, street level maps covering all of Florida, a pot of coffee, 12 Jammy Dodgers and a fez.

Mr. President, that man walked in here with a big blue box, and three of his friends. And, that's the man he walked past. One of them is worth listening to.

Metal piece with many pointy pieces and neodymium magnets in a microwave? The sparks will damage the item and the oven. And won't melt the plastic
