Excellent tip (bluntly) - oh no, a pun too!

I really like this article for two reasons:

First, I've had a couple blunt needle tips clog, which is annoying and has relegated several to the "fix in the far future" project box.  This solves that problem.

Second, everyone with a filament 3D printer runs into nozzle clogs periodically, especially when your hot end gets a tad too hot and the heat creeps up and softens the filament before it gets into the hot end, causing a jam.  Sometimes you can solve it by doing an "atomic pull", but other times no such luck and you're off to the races to either remove the nozzle for a bath with a propane torch or some really tedious heating and poking from the top of the nozzle to force the melted filament out.  This also solves this problem.

Two problems solved in under two minutes of reading time?  That's worth 5 stars on the rating.
