Re: Black abs plugging the nozzle

Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday with new black ABS ( other colours were fine )
took the head apart ... had to plug in the hotend and temp sensor to warm up the head so i can remove PEEK while warm.
I also have some oozing to look into.
Youtube has some solidoodle hotend cleaning video but any other ideas are welcomed ...

If you search here you will find many others with problems in the past concerning Solidoodle black. It was apparently a bad batch so it's concerning to see new users with problems.

Re: Black abs plugging the nozzle

I have had no issues with my Black filament...in fact, it generally prints better than the other colors!
I print at no higher than 195 and I never let the nozzle remain heated and idle for more than a few seconds...

Thanks for All of Your Help!

Re: Black abs plugging the nozzle

I just finished a kg roll of black filament with no blockages at all, I have never had one yet .. touch wood.
all my filament so far is from jamie here in oz. (3dprintergear)

I used to print grey and purple at as low as 185, then went to 195, for the black I found I needed 210 to get layers to stick well and even then its nowhere near as good as other colours with layer adhesion.

if only i could get clear to print clear instead of white .. i would be a happy man.

Re: Black abs plugging the nozzle

Tried also black and got my nozzle clogged. Filament bought from Denmark but origin china. Other colours worked fine.
Now i need new acrylic parts, 2 pieces broke when it jammed.

Re: Black abs plugging the nozzle

Anyone know if I put the peek into acetone without melting it?
