Hairy Unloads

In the last few days, my filament has string/hair hanging from it when I unload it.   The printer prints perfectly but curious what this could be.  Thoughts?

RE: Hairy Unloads

It's nothing to worry about. Different filaments will be more or less stringy, and your technique matters. Pull quickly and it can be very clean. Pull slowly and you can pull a gossamer strand out a considerable length. PETG is very stringy.
