I haven't had my printer clog up completely anymore since I started using it. That's the advantage I'm seeing.
Oh, did you have an issue with clogging before using it? It is not something I deal with often enough to buy a consumable to fix
A couple of times. It depends on the printer, the filament and the user. While the cleaning filament is a consumable, it'll probably outlast my printer, since you only need to use a few centimeters per cleaning.
Got ya. Glad it doesn't use much, that was going to be my next question. The only time I have had clogging is when using a many year old filament with bad dimensional accuracy that I did not run it through my dryer. So that is 100% on me.
Still running a V1 Ender 3 pro, though it does have a couple minor upgrades, but that thing is a surprising workhorse
