Filaprint bed surface

[wirlybird]

I get what you are saying but I think it is maybe a little extreme. The 105 GT temp is an approximate temp and the GT temp is where it only begins to soften. I think the odds of gravity deforming the first layers of a print on a flat surface are probably extremely small. With that said, using a lower temp is certainly is not a bad idea.

The defaults are set like that for beginners who struggle getting prints to stick on the build plate.

The physical property I mean in this case is the glass transition temperature of ABS which happens to be 105°C. At this point ABS can be easily deformed by gravity. Your HBP should be no higher than 100°C.

Works fine for me with ABS. Bed temp 100 and 230 on the nozzle. It works great. This is on a Qidi Dual Extrusion unit.

That is one reason I haven't tried Printbite is it doesn't play so well with ABS. Most of what I read indicate using very high bed and extruder temps to get decent results.

Nice work on the report. Keep up the good work.

Hi All

After testing Filaprint as a printing surface I finally finished the report and want to share it with you.

Have a look and see if it is relevant to you.
