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 :-)Last edited by curious aardvark; 01-15-2021 at 10:47 AM.
