I am having a problem w/ some ABS in my QiDi. It is MG Maker ABS Sassy Silver. When I load the filament using the front panel filament load function and look at the thread coming out of the extruder nozzle it has bumps, kinks and bubbles in it. I don't hear anything but my hearing is shot from too much R&R. I've other MG Maker ABS and it does not do that, all the other ABS is smooth and even as it gets spit out. None of my various PLA's do this.
I don't think this is normal. I've seen mention that something like this can be caused by water being absorbed into the filament. I got this roll from MG 3 days ago, opened it immediately, left it in its sealed bag (with its desiccant), put it in a ziplock with a bunch of desiccant, and put that in a sealed drybox with a bunch more desiccant. Took it out today and I get bubbles and kinky bumps.
I would really appreciate hearing from someone else who has experienced this issue and how it was resolved.
