-Using ABS and then changing filament, a bit always gets stuck in the extruder(it's crushed/melted too thick to be pulled through the small top hole), I have to open it up and cut the last bit off before inserting the new filament. Prints with the ABS are still great
-Using PLA on something with a flat base(a plastic cap for chair feet) results in the raft being almost impossible to remove(Though I did give up before breaking the piece) - obvious solution is to print raftless, but playing around with temperature settings is also likely to help
Both of these filaments are from a really cheap local brand and results are likely to vary with others

To prevent the jam when unloading filament, pull gently on the filament while it's coming out in order to ensure that it all gets past the gear and holes before it's fully cooled. It's annoying to have to sit and wait for the extruder to heat up, but not as annoying as having to take everything apart if the "blob" gets stuck.

If you print with good PLA at 205º or less (195 or 200º if possible) and no bed heat, the raft will usually come off cleanly. It's also depended on first layer height - if the initial height is too small then the raft tends to get smooshed up into the part. The shim (or Z-Sense) is important for this.

I have problem with unloading too, so I don't unload now, just cut old filament off, insert new filament and load, success rate 100%.

Materials Compatibility / Re: PLA raft removal

For information :
I just tried glass setting with a PLA and +/- 0°
The raft can be removed as if it was ABS, and the print are goods for me.
if i turn 10°C less, then comes the "clic clic clic" from the extruder and the wire get locked.

Z-Glass setting with PLA, not too hot? What brand PLA are you using?
