Creality Official Clog Poke, 0.4mm Needles Cleaner Perfect for Any 1.75mm 3D Printer Nozzle Cleaning Kit Stainless Steel with Soft Rubber Handle

You can't scrape your bed or cut yourself with something like this. It's cheap, works MUCH better than 3D printed scrapers, and safe. I really like mine and have used it for projects all over the place (scraping lettering off my boat, build plates, cleaning kitchen counters, etc) and I'm still on the first rubber blade after 2 months. YMMV. I thought a clog poke would come with the printer Some printers come with the nozzle pokes. They're like acupuncture needles, basically. They're good for clearing the bottom of the nozzle. If you get a clog though, you'll want something much stiffer. This guy is Creality's best product, and it's saved my two nozzles in the 3 months I've had it.

It's not that abnormal. There are steps you can take to try and prevent them, but filament clogs will happen The single best product that Creality makes IMO is this clog poker - you can use a nail or something else (but IMO the acupuncture needles are useless here) Heat the end of the poker with a lighter until it's hot. Cram it down the nozzle hole into the stuck filament. Push it into the filament. Let it sit to cool. Pull it out slowly, and if you did it right, et voila, you just cleared your first clog
