Extruder sock foam stuff
My extruder kept jamming so I took it apart to clear any filament. Above the sock there is some sort of insulation foam. I don't see this in the videos I see online about replacing the extruder. It is flaking off and I am wondering if I need to replace the foam and what type of foam is it?
RE: Extruder sock foam stuff
could that be filament from a baby blob of doom, that has wicked up, between the sock and the heat block?

I've only been printing in blacks, grays, reds and greens. It appears more foamy (like spray on insulating foam) than plastic. If it's not supposed to be there, I'll just remove it.

not supposed to be there...
