Trying to get nice abs

sorry for the dad joke....

Here's the album

​

I'm using Enotepad abs - recommended print temp is 220 - 240.

Nozzle: 240 first, 230after

Bed: 95

5% infill

no cooling fan

Prusa mk3 in an enclosure.

What is up with the edges bending in like that?

What is the temp inside the enclosure during printing? I get mine up to about 100-110F and ABS does a lot better than before I had it.

​

Also I do 50% cooling fan after the first layer. I know it isn't as recommended but I got much better corners and bridging with a little bit of cooling compared to none.

​

I'm using Hatchbox ABS printing at 230C with a 90C bed on a Maker Select Plus (wanhao i3 plus).

You are correct. 20% cooling made a huge difference

Thanks for the help

Oh yeah wow, way better! Glad it worked!

I've done PLA, ABS and PETG. ABS has been the most tricky to get right for me, but I feel like right now its going pretty well. I just finished this project today: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3746266
