print doesn't separate from base
I am printing small and often delicate models using Hatchbox ABS brown filament. Printing at 265ºC but have tried lower temps as well. The model doesn't separate from the raft. I have not had this problem with PLA. I was thinking the temperature was too hot but when I reduce it (2 or 3º increments) it either doesn't print out completely or it still doesn't separate. I am very new to this and I am using an M3D printer to make 1:48 scale furniture. Have settings for lowest fill. What else can I try?

ABS doesn't separate from a raft as well as PLA due to the nature of the plastic.
My instinct would have been a lower temperature but you say you have already tried this. What is your bed temperature at?

There is no heat bed on a M3D, I think.
Have you enclosed your printer ? I think it would be quite easy given its design. I'm not an ABS specialist, but it would perhaps allow you to print at lower temps. This seems hot. I also think that printing that hot WILL cause issues on that printer : it was not designed for that kind of continuous temps.
Have you tried printing without a raft or using PLA or PET instead ?
