I started with black ABS at 195, and had no trouble. When I tried different filaments without changing any settings, I got really brittle prints, like the print temp was too low. I suspect black ABS does soften at a lower temperature, so if you didn't change any settings, you'd be prone to black ABS clogging, as it could get too hot for it.

I ran a whole spool of black through without issues at 195 degrees. I purchased mine along with a bunch of other colors through 3dPrinterStuff.com

First id like to say thank you to everyone on here for the overwelming amount of support and willingness to help others I think its awesome.

My question is that i know some people have had issues with black filiment being more likely to clog and i just wanted to know if i should up my extruder temp when using black or no? Ive been using octave green at 190 with no problems but i want to do a print with the black sample that solidoodle sent with the printer.

Thanks for the help!
