    ABS, is just not great.

    I have to agree, though before I had learned this information I had purchased many rolls of ABS, now had to learn how to print it as wasting is not in my nature.

    After many prints have learned much more on how to print that almost perfect ABS model.
    Currently the fastest I have 3D Printed is 12.5mm^3 of filament per second with a layer height of 0.31 an nozzle diameter of 0.4mm.
    This would be a print speed of 100% in cure 15.04.6 for a simple model though best complex 3D prints are at 72-86%

    However I still print smaller models in PLA it is much easier to work with.
    In the attached photo I even print on tape over a bed surface as the bed surface failed to allow the more complex shape print to have any adhesion.

    An this will be the results of my ABS prints, a very inexpensive 550 X 750 X 292mm MPCNC that can mill 3D Printer parts in aluminum.
    or Any wood carving / cutting I choose to make.
