Cleaned out the barrel, there was a bit of discolored plastic. I was able to manually feed filament through at 220C, it was tougher than expected, but ended up flowing smoothly. I also double-checked the idler wheel and it looked slightly misaligned. Once I staighten that out, I'll post back with my updated progress. Thanks so far, everybody!

The barrel might be clogged from something. If you made the
temperature too high on accident, it could have burned the ABS and
caused a jam. Try cleaning the barrel and nozzle really well. Check

Aside: setting the PID settings properly is critical with the v2.x firmware.
