I apologize if this has been discussed in the forum before, but as you can tell from my title, I'm not sure how to describe it to look it up. I've only been printing for a couple months, but haven't had too many issues to deal with until today.
I starting a 6 hour print of an open-top cylinder (abt 20cm diameter) last night, black ABS (not Ultimaker), default Cura settings for "Generic ABS" (w/ glue stick). The first layer printed fine, so I went to bed. When I checked it this morning, the UM3 said the build was completed, but nothing was on the plate, and the material was an unrecognizable glob stuck all over the head - inside and outside. It's stuck, and it's a mess.
Is this common and does it have a name? Any ideas how it happened, how to prevent it, and how to clean it up? My initial thought is that there was adhesion issues because the default plate temp wasn't quite high enough for most ABS. I've tried heating the extruder to dislodge it, which loosened it a bit, but then I got a max temp error (probably b/c the fan can't hit the extruder). Unless I hear otherwise, my next step is to try and clean it up using a desoldering heat gun.
Any insight would be appreciated.
