The brass nozzle on your MK8/MK7 stepstruder gets charred ABS on it over time.
Not only is this ugly, but if the deposit is around the nozzle output area, it can affect your printing too.
Clean up your nozzles with this handy script. The script prints a cube with a nozzle shaped indentation in, and then it slowly buries the hot nozzle inside.
Allow the nozzle to cool, then remove with pliers for a shiny clean nozzle.
Credit goes to Crazy Jaw for the original idea in his post: "Possibly brilliant (or terrible) way to clean an extruder nozzle" on the makerbot forum.
Disclaimer: Using this technique puts some force on your bot's mechanics. I've encountered no issues myself with this technique. If it's so stuck on you're risking damaging your bot, then you can preheat your bot to release the bond. Use at your own risk.
