    Well i dont use Kapton,
    Only ABS glue or Hairspray,

    ABS is imo great but only for small things,

    Bigger stuff, well it always warped for me :P

    Might try to get a trash bag and put it over it and see if the heat is kept in.

    Have you tried pva glue ? the white woodworkers glue. I've just got my new hot end fixed up and I'running some trials with it also with ABS glue and finally with Pritt Stick. I'll report back when I have some meaningful results.

    Well i had great glue before,
    But instead of the ABS going from the heated bed, the layers where ripped from each other :P

    I bougt a roll of PET tape from ebay just to try it out, and god damn how well the abs sticks to it, almost too well, i am now printing a 180x180 mm print without any signs of lift in the corners, this is with bed temp at 110'c and a 40mm fan constantly blowing at the magma hot end.

    beware that you will need to wash the taped bed with acetone before printing to get fat\oil residues off.

    Highly recommended to try, you can get it pretty cheap from china.

    To get around this you have a couple of options.:

    1 - more infill may help
    2 - get the bed temp up
    3 - get the ambient temperature up. (heated chamber)

    Well the infill was already 40% or so,

    Bed temp was 115c wich is pretty high, last option is the ambient temprature i guess :P
    Already knew that for a while but still trying to find a chamber for it :P
    Probably a trash bag or something.

    Luigi, you could try just placing a cardboard box over the printer when printing ABS. I kinda did that with my SD3 and was able to raise my bed temp from 85 to about 100C and the ambient temp is ofcourse higher too.

    just a bit of info, stratasys will run a heated chamber at 70c. this is the temp needed to print in to keep the part relaxed enough for no warping.
