ABS Layers Not Sticking

[djprinter]

There is no such thing as "standard slicing defaults." What temperature, layer height, bed temp, first layer height, are you printing at?

Poor layer adhesion is usually due to the print temp being too low and/or the layer height being too large.

Room temp and air flow can also affect things, as can the shape of your print. Long tall prints are nearly impossible to keep from warping in ABS without active heating in your build chamber.

unfortunately there are.

Most slicing programs offer Default settings for different materials. They are usually so wrong it's not even funny.

makerware tends to print everything much much too fast.

I've never used defualt settings on any other slicer and only the once on makerware.

So, yeah they do exist - but it's best to totally ignore them :-)
