Miguel, can I call you Miguel? I feel like we've really bonded now that I've replied to each of your 7 posts.

As I posted here and on the Reprap forum the black doesn't extrude as well because it is full of "regrinds".
Other colours are OK.

side question: how the heck do you get abs to stick the the platform?

For ABS printing, I use ABS juice on top of Kapton tape at 110 deg C. I squash the first layer down on the bed by manually lowering the Z couplers right at the start. I judge it by eye so the layer is quashed flat.
I have also found diluting the juice works even better. Take fully saturated juice and cut it back to about 50% with more acetone. Sometimes it sticks too well and you have to let it cool right down.
