FlashForge Dreamer Qs

[Peet@FFUSA]

So I am trying to print 3D spine models for our Neurosurgeons to do pre surgery on but am very new to 3D printing. I have basic questions like- I am using ABS filament 1.75mm, what temps are best to print on? I am having trouble with the filament sticking to the plate(I am using painters tape). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If it's ABS filament from Flashforge, the ideal extruder temperature is ~220-240C. For filament sticking problems, there's several solutions:

1. Using glass plate
2. Using sticky surface from either Buildtak or Flashforge
3. Use kapton tape.

The sticky surface works best and is a pretty cost-effective solution. Glass plate works well but you may have to spray some hair spray for your prints to stick.

Hope this helps!
