Hi everyone, I really appreciate any help you can offer! I’ve been having major issues with printing ABS these past few days, and I can’t seem to get it sorted out. Specifically, larger, flat prints just refuse to adhere to the bed. The prints start to lift off the bed mid-print, leading to warping…

Is that Inkstation’s ABS? 250 (if that’s what you meant by in the middle) is a bit too low for ABS, that coupled with the print speed is why you’re getting weak layer bonds. I’d go for 270-275. I’ve found Tecor ABS to shrink about 0.65%, I used cover my machine with a blanket to get the temp up, bu…

It would be helpful if you posted screengrabs of the model in the prepare and preview modes so that we may see what the slicer is seeing.

NICE!!! Thanks for posting actual data! :+1:This is what I’m talking about when I harp on the the need to post empirical data, not something one just reads on reddit. This is a great point and to add on top of this, that measurement is also 5g=5cc=5ml of water that was in the filament. To put that i…

I had it set to 100 for the failed prints. I just finished scrolling Reddit for Answers and I think the issue could be the fan and the fact my enclosure isn’t airtight so may not be warm enough. Tomorrow I’ll try my dropping the cooling and then if that’s no I’ll share the file

Are you preheating your print chamber? [image] Printing ABS on PEI Plate Best Practices This is what works for me. Ideally you want the chamber temp as warm as possible. This is how I “preheat” the chamber. Turn the bed on full (100-120c depending on your supply voltage) Home the machine (to …

Yea ink stations brand :smiley: I’ll defiantly give your settings a go. I don’t normally print with ABS but I’m moving over to it and it’s been a nightmare :D. I didn’t realise it was so sensitive to temperature changes. There is a good chance my cooling settings are a bit high face and the winner…

Thank you all for giving me a place to start. After posting i went to reddit and pretty sure my problem is that I didn’t do any research into the filament before trying it and was just lucky for 5 or so prints that I didn’t have any issues. I’ll take the spacer off the printer, heat the chamber and …

Suggest trying with the Bambu ABS filament profile. Use it as a baseline and tweek if necessary from there.

Will do :slight_smile: ill keep you posted :smiley:
