new hotend issue
So I didn't heat my hexagon before inserting the nozzle, leakage happened, and then destruction ensued.
Lesson learned.
I purchased a e3d lite6 and got it all installed. The print quality in general is excellent, but I have one issue. The location where the layer changes gets a huge blob of plastic, leaving a giant seam up the side of the part. I've ducked around with retraction distance and speed and wipe, and I cannot resolve it. I've also went down to 205 (ABS) which seems oddly low, but nothing really changed.
I've googled around and read a few threads, and everything seems to point to retraction, but changing the settings haven't changed anything very much at all.
Ive tried pretty much every combination of
Temp: 205-230
Retraction: .5-3
R. Spd. 20-45
Could my temperature reading by off? I did a quick PLA test when I first installed the hotend, and it came out fine, but that's all I've done with PLA. I think it's a little curious that oozing is still occurring with ABS at 205.
I need help here.

Also, I did dissolve some of the filament in acetone, so it's not mislabeled pla.

Well... I wish I could make my Delta printer do that good!
Resin has changed after...
