I have the added “benefit” with the old Stratasys of the print head and nozzle 
assembly costing around $1200 USD. 

Best way to unclog this beast is first heat it up to near 300C, then feed a 
piece of bare, solid 14AWG copper into the extruder. Go slow, so that the 
copper has time to heat up. This will push most of the charred bits out of the 
nozzle. After removing the copper wire, I use a fine strand of steel off a thin 
wire rope—this needs to measure smaller than the nozzle diameter—and “floss” 
the nozzle. 

Works every time.
