    Do you have the part cooling fan running? In general no fan for ABS. What is the bed surface? What temps?

    Also, try doing your prints from the SD card and not tethered at all. Some have reported odd issues with prints that went away when they printed from a SD card. Probably a long shot but it happens.

    Looks to be under extrusion. Make sure to measure the filament diameter over several spots along five or more feet and enter the average into the slicer.

    What speed, temp and what material?

    A couple observations.
    1st: I wouldn't use a raft unless it is a part that requires it such as very limited contact with the bed. Also make sure the bed is clean. Acetone or alcohol to clean with....

    Good luck. I use a bunch of those with no issues on several different printers.
    I think your other card is just failing or corrupted. A proper format may bring it back.

    Probably just a failing card but I think 30 characters. I stay away from folders etc. on the cards. I just load the file and print and then usually delete the files.

    Mine are the size of the bed. I have seen some go larger but I think heating is going to be an issue. The closer to the edge you get the more drop off in temp.
