Topic: Ooze effect

Just started to print the soolidoodle-model.
I noticed a ooze effect for example if i manually extrude filament.
After extruding 10mm filament a little bit of filament oozes out of the hotend.
Is this an indicator for an partial clog or just normal?

Re: Ooze effect

It is normal and wouldn't happen with a clog.

This is fairly normal. Unless you are printing, the retraction that avoids the oozing does not come in to play.
