The abs dried fine the spool not so much and had to bin it (after a few hours of watching it cool and make some weird noises and shapes as the spool shrunk compressing the abs still on it).

Guess what i'm saying is if you do decided to dry it don't be a muppet like me tongue

I did this repeatedly (probably 1 meter or more), and I'll get a nice and smooth extrusion one minutes, then it will change mid stream and give me this distorted extrusion the next, then back to normal.

It looks like it spurted it out, although it doesn't really, and it's a lot more brittle than the normal looking one.

Any ideas why it comes out like this?
