Small reminder: Don't forget to periodically renew your nozzle from time to time!

I don't print any abrasive materials at all. Pretty much only normal PLA and PETG.

I noticed, that my print quality gradually went down quite a bit, especially in the last few prints. I had a lot of stringing, weird blobs, and scarred surfaces.

Now, the print quality is as good as it should be!

They are dirt cheap. You can get a set of 10-15 generic ones, in different sizes, for only a few bucks. Don't forget that they are consumables.

Periodically, not sporadically
- Change your nozzle randomly and without warning
  
  Gotta be unpredictable, the nozzles can smell intent.
  
  Gotta sneak up on them, slowly and carefully. Just like that damn snail.
  
  Nah, that one is a decoy.
  
  Hold Ctrl while moving and Press F to change nozzle.
  
  What if I'm inhouse instead of intent?
  
  Then you're camping!
  
  So mid print, pause and resume just like with replacing a filament roll.
- Thanks for the notice! It's now changed in the title.
  
  I'm no native speaker and thought it was a synonym to "From time to time, when you feel the need to".
  
  Sporadically means more like, "At Infrequent but random intervals"
  
  All good I figured that was the case
