About the Prusa Brass Nozzle Brush – 10645
Catalogued as Prusa brass nozzle brush-10645, this is a brass-bristled brush for cleaning printer nozzles and hot ends. Filament that oozes from the nozzle during travel, or that is dragged up onto the tip during a failed first layer, bakes onto the hot metal and eventually flakes back into the print or blocks the flow path; a wire brush is the normal way to take it off. Brass is used for the bristles because it is softer than the steel and hardened nozzle materials it has to clean, so it lifts carbonised plastic without scoring the nozzle tip or the block face — the same reason brass brushes are preferred over steel for cleaning soft metals generally. Brushes of this type are normally used with the hot end warm so the residue is soft, which means heat-resistant gloves and care around the heater cartridge and thermistor wiring.

Typical applications
A brass nozzle brush belongs in the routine maintenance kit for any filament printer: cleaning the nozzle tip between filament changes and before a critical first layer, dressing the heater block after a leak or a blob, and general tidying of the hot end during scheduled servicing. It is a consumable that wears out as its bristles splay, and it is also useful for light cleaning of other soft-metal parts on the machine where a steel brush would leave marks.
