 +      * For staff - instructions for print core purge
 +        * Ultimaker’s purge wizard does not work too well, what follows is a better custom recipe:
 +        * Set clogged print core temperature to 230C
 +        * Remove filament & filament tube from print head (use pliers to push down the tube collar fitting & pull out the tube at the same time)
 +        * Insert clear purge rod into the print core through the hole that filament would usually go, and push down using pliers until it can no longer be pushed down or until clear material exits the nozzle
 +          * IF clear purge rod cannot be pushed down further
 +            * Reduce print core temperature to 130C then pull OUT purge rod 
 +              * Repeat above all of the above instructions (heat, push in rod, cool, pull out rod) until clear material can be seen exiting the nozzle
 +          * IF/WHEN clear material can be seen exiting the nozzle, print core purging has been completed
