It doesn't really matter if the outside of the barrel is black. Have you tried extruding anything? You may have to do a purge before you can get quality filament again.

I managed to clean only small parts with acetone. Rest is still dark, though not completely black.

I'll make photos soon.

Are the black spots leftover ABS in the barrel?

I would think that you would want to get everything off to look like new, but elmoret would probably be the best to answer this.

Pictures are many times worth 1000 words.

ABS.
No mods.

I had to torch it because I heated the nozzle to 180C but the plastic was stuck for good and the wooden blocks kept breaking (bending pipe?). Don't know why that happens.
