Hey! Have recently purchased a black filament cartride (MakerBot branded PLA) for a MakerBot Replicator Gen 5. After using a red filament for a while, I noticed a considerable drop in print quality when I printed the exact same object in black when compared against the red. Any thoughts on this?

That is interesting, maybe a small clog in the nozzle, I noticed this back when I had a Makerbot 2x that this situation would occur and it was because the heat was to high and it would create a small clog.

Not all filaments are best at the same temperature but that is usually between different brand. Try the red again and see if the problem continues or if it is just the black filament, if so play with the heat.
