I found a small length of filament in the parts bin. I don’t know what it is, and nobody else here does, or remembers ordering it. I’m pretty sure it’s a sample that was sent by Prusa when we ordered the printer, and it’s probably not a special material.
It’s feels “gummy” and a lot softer than PLA, but not really rubbery either. And I tried printing something with it at 230C as if it was PLA and it’s clearly not hot enough: it’s able to flow out of the nozzle but it barely sticks to the bed.
Any idea what it could be?

Interesting… I didn’t know purge filament existed. In fact, I wondered what would happen if I ever ran something that truly gummed up the nozzle, if I’d have to replace it entirely or something.
