Suggestions Sprocket cleaning plotter FX edge 1&2

I usually use Cue Tips soaked in either alcohol or naphtha. Clean in a circular scrubbing motion around each pin. Takes 5 or 6 to clean both sprockets. Once clean, do a quick second scrub with fresh solvent and Cue Tip to remove any remaining adhesive residue to slow down the next build up of adhesive. You may slow the next adhesive build up by wiping on a very thin coat of 3 in 1 oil. I've also heard of doing the job using a ballpoint pen barrel with an opening large enough to fit over the sprocket pins.

 

I like to use tweezers- gets big chunks quickly.

 

I use the Bic pen barrel trick to work it loose then wipe with an alcohol swab.
