The situation he is experiencing is not typical. I and many others have used ABS and ASA without major issues, as long as you preheat the chamber and don’t open the door, and use a Brim and/or glue if needed.
So how much preheat is required? I did try 20 min preheat.
Ideally you want the chamber temp as warm as possible. This is how I “preheat” the chamber.
- Turn the bed on full (100-120c)
- Home the machine (to bring the bed to the top)
- Turn on the aux fan so it will blow across the top of the hot bed.
This will get you a chamber temp or 45-50ish in about 10-15 minutes.

So added the pre-heat G-Code from this LINK and had the chamber warm up and settle, tried the voron cube with standard settings, but also the slower one that Bambu Support gave me, no luck…
Tried using Bambu Labs branded ABS, this should work, one might hope.
If I had known ABS was not an option, I’d probably would have bought the P1
No one else has any issues with printing with ABS so the issue is something with your printer/slicer setup. Personally I’ve found the X/P series printers make it dead simple to print with ABS so I don’t know what is going on.

Have you tried a new nozzle? Is the existing nozzle not bent from hitting the part?
I read the whole post again and didnt see a mention of changing or checking the nozzle isf it is in good shape.

I did try a new nozzle, the spare one that came with the printer (added new heater and all the other bits to it)
Exactly my thought, it actually failed the first print with abs … new install, new printer, new setting… never installed bambu studio or orca prior on this machine…
Tried printing the bambu spool with the only filament I had available in abundace (esun abs+), default setting and failed.
Had my printer replaced due to the sticky carbon rods, new printer same issue.
I have the same problem, discussing here:
I wonder if the issues are related to the fan changes made in the latest Bambu Studio update? The update happened about two weeks ago and that seems to match the timeline of these problems. I don’t know if downgrading Bambu Studio will be enough to revert the fan setting to the previous values, you would have to confirm if the values changed.
This person was having a similar issue with PETG that he determined was caused by the fan speed changes in the latest Bambu Studio update.
I did try with orca slicer, doesn’t seem to change anything.
Bambu Studio and Orca use the same filament and printing profiles, so if Bambu Studio changes values, the values will also be changed in Orca.
So, how do you guys go about updates? With my Voron, I’m always somewhat hesitant to try something new (mainly because Klipper tends to break firmware every time I update)
Do you stick with some combinations that work?
I submitted a ticket to Bambu citing this forum topic as well as the others complaining about the same issue. I suggested it might be related to their fan update.
I update Bambu Studio and my firmware as soon as it comes out. Luckily I haven’t suffered any consequences yet by updating my firmware and software right away.
I think I might change this approach in the future and wait until I see the consequences other people experience before I update it myself.
Did you guys apply the latest Bambu Studio update from two weeks ago before doing your successful tests above? I posted above that somebody else who has a similar issue as OP (but using PETG) discovered it was related to fan changes made in the last Bambu Studio update.
If both of you are not using the latest update, it may explain why OP is having issues and you are not.
I see at least 3 topics for the same problem, there’s a way to join in a unique topic?
I don’t specifically remember, but I typically apply software updates as soon as they are out so probably I was using the absolute latest software/firmware.
And i have not firmware or software.

@JohnRaymond Not true- quite a few people have posted here with this same issue, myself included.
My new X1C won’t print ASA/ABS without crashing. Read the posts here and in troubleshooting for details.
I’ve tried extensive testing, firmware, calibrations- you name it. It’s not a simple “oh- you left the door open” fix.
I’m assuming your comment was directed at me.
The issue that the OP has and your issue are entirely different problems.
Your problem is straight up bed adhesion and part warping. Large ASA/ABS parts are hard to print without warping. It’s the nature of the beast. That’s what is causing your “scraping” issue. I’ve been down that road before.
The OP’s issue is something else. Adhesion is good. There seems to be an issue somewhere else.
