This is mainly referring to once a clog occurs, but prevention / dealing with FDM 3D Printer Nozzle Oozing in the Preheat phase. I just got a Prusa MK3s+ (or whatever the growing acronym is lol), and in the heat up period / probing sometimes there will be oozing that can contact the bed and drag a wisp and/or hook back up to the side of the nozzle. I can grab it with Needle Nose Pliers, and tend to do so, although this *can* make it loop up worse, and also involves the hazards of: Putting hands near/in the way of the CNC Gantry, putting hands near hot components, etc so doesn't seem *exactly* like what i should be doing lol. Granted the Priming Line / Brim seem to clear any sub 3cm blobs/strands quite well. Either way an Automated Nozzle Brush type thing may be neat, also i should just look into what the best protocol for that is.
