Reclaiming a Plugged Brass Nozzle

This is low use (almost new) 0.60mm brass FDM nozzle. It became plugged and was changed out for a new nozzle.
The tip is barely worn so this nozzle is worth the little bit of effort to clear and make available for reuse. Some brass nozzles are as low cost as $0.50 to $1.00... But it is a shame to just toss them away.

Discovered an interesting fault with the use of steel nozzles in brass heat blocks.
Steel nozzles are recommended for abrasive materials FDM printing. There are also ruby and even diamond tip nozzles to “reduce wear”.

I work in Onshape (free-hobbyist version) for many of my 3D printing CAD drawings. It’s my alternative to the Hobbyist version of Fusion 360.
I like using both. They are commercial quality CAD and are free.
