general machine speak
Posted by mike c on Sunday, 30-Sep-2007
having used the plastic cutter on my machine(s) for a fair amount of time now, it would appear that gunk build-up basically doesn't exist, and a cleaning may in fact never be needed......(although I'll probably take it apart someday anyway)
further, I have been storing my machines with the chamber open while not in use, so as to keep the plastic gripper cap from sitting mashed to the nozzle- last night I realized this was causing the small spring to be sitting with the tension on it, so I decided to remove the cap and seat it into the hole in the crank-handle when not in use......(excessive, yes)
and last, I have discovered that simply taking the spoon off and periodically cleaning behind it with q-tip and alcohol is a snap

but then it just occurred to me, storing machines with chamber closed puts continuous pressure on the nozzle itself....hmm

(I had one fall out!)
on another subject I was thinking that anyone not using time-release is possibly saving wear on the rivnut......?.......

yeah I use a pipe cleaner and alcohol to get mine behind the spoon. that seems to be the only place residue builds up on my new c model.
