Cleaning the hot end to print ABS?

K8200 3D Printer K8200 - Issues while printing

Hey all

I’ve started printing with PLA and I’m nearing the end of the spool.
Do I need to clean the hot end before loading the ABS filament?
If so, how do I do it?

Thanks.

Just load your abs and manually extrude until the rest of pla is pust off the nozzle.
If you do the other way, first extrude the PLA with ABS temp to make sure no rest of ABS stays unmolten in the nozzle.
