    What the hell is this thing

    Hey all. I just put together another ender 3 and this one had a long needle with a spring on the end. Does anyone know what the hell this thing is for? It reminds of the needles they use for acupuncture

    No clogging or tools ever needed if you use this stuff between materials and ever so often when using pla https://www.amazon.com/eSUN-CLEANING.../dp/B00MVIYNFW
    I still have most of my .1kg left after 2 years, never ever ever have I had to manually clean a nozzle and I print with ABS, PETG, Nylon, TPU an PLA.. Other tool to have is a brass bristle brush to buff the outside of the nozzle with so it stays clean..
