    I've used a lot of flashforge pla - their old red filament (semi-translucent) is just about the best filament I've ever used.

    Never had abs settings on a roll of pla though.
    that's just weird.
    I reckon someone just put the wrong labels on the boxes.

    As far as settings go - never use stock off the shelf categories.
    Always use slicers in 'advanced' mode and fine tune the settings yourself.

    I've yet to see any 'standard' settings that I'd agree with :-)

    Bed adhesion is a tricky one.
    Unfortunately flashprint STILL doesn't offer any z-axis adjustment.
    I know, just installed the klatest version and it ain't there.

    So you'll need to do it the old fashioned way.

    Slow the first layer to 10mm/s. Put the bed temp up to 65c.
    have the first layer thickness set to 0.35mm.
    If you still have adhesion issues - consider investing in some print bed adhesive.

    magigoo is great, as is dimafix.
    I've also tried a generic one I 'acquired' at a tct show. Works well, 'Formula 3d' that one's called.

    They look expensive, but a little goes a long way. And you don't need to aply it very often.

    Alternative;y get a cheap sheet of self adhesive PEI off ebay and cut it to size.
    90% of a good print is getting the first layer properly fixed - so it's worth trying a few things and any money spent will be swiftly recouped by all the failed prints you don't have to throw away :-)
