Small gauge guitar string is great for unclogging hot ends without having to disassemble it. Or, you can buy something from a dedicated vendor:

Thanks LuckyImperial and Mjolinor for the tips. My son has guitars so I'll get a small diameter string from him and check out the dental files.
The problem I had on the first day with the printer was that the PLA was stuck at the top of the head. I put a small needle up from the bottom and it went up a long way. But for some reason it was jammed near the top of the head as if that part was not getting heated. So I cut off the PLA and pushed a hex key in the hole to release the stuck PLA but that was after disassembling the head/fan, as per the manual.
So not sure yet what causes that but it has been going good since but that is not long. I do check and adjust the bed quite a bit with a piece of A4 paper just to make sure the space is correct. I am not sure if it would jam like it has if the head was too close to the bed.
It is hard to get the objects off the bed even when cooled but I suppose a lot use masking tape?
Please explain to me how to...
