Black ABS

[Roxy]

So, I now have applied that workflow to all my filament even when I'm not clearing a jam. Before I remove or swap a filament, say ABS, I set the head to about 110C and let it sit for a few minutes. Then I slowly pull that filament out with some needle nosed pliers. I grab the filament near the hinge and rest the tip on the top of my extruder body's surface. I then lift the pliers very, very slowly, by the handles.

You mean 210C don't you? 110C and it won't even get soft????

No, I mean 110C to 120C. Remember, it's already been hot. It's still cooling and the residual heat keeps it from getting solid.

@robh - here you go - not sure where you were looking it was a couple posts above my last one :-)

Gotcha, yea, I do that too. I'm trying to do 15 things at once today so I didn't scan for that post as well as I should have.
