ABS filament sticking to extruder hot-end

Post by vansicek »

Any idea why the ABS filament constantly accumulates on the hot end extruder? It causes curling and accumulates in bunches on the print itself.

This is often due to overextrusion or oozing of some sort. You might want to try calibrating your extrusion multiplier and/or printing at a lower temp.
