Ender 3 Pro and ABS

[curious aardvark]

recommended bed setting is 85c for abs - but as cliff shows - each machine and setup is unique.
The ideakl bed temp is often the glass temp. So the point that filament begins to soften enough to not shrink from thermal cooling - but not enough to deform under pressure because it's too soft.

The best advice is to simply find something small and useful and print them with different settings.

All we can really do is tell you what works for us.
We are NOT using your printer, in your enclosure and in your work room.
(you sure as hell are not using anything in what remotely resembles my work room: warmed up today, a sweltering 15c !)

One of the best pieces of advice I can give you is to simply print things.
Approach tempo changes sensibly and above all else DON'T PRINT BENCHIES !

Find something small and useful - I tend to use shopping trolley release keys - and use that for a test file.

A benchy teaches you nothing you can't learn from almost ANY other print.
So make something you actually want.

OK, I must ask, what is a trolly release key?
In my mind it's a key to release a shopping cart from the rental lines. No?

I'll give pet-g a look. From what I've been reading here, it doesn't appear to be a favorite filament of some.

We want some flex in parts such as the main frame. So far we have the frame, and have finished the first leg sections. I'm printing the second leg sections now. Electronics mounts are next. PLA has been working very well for everything.
Frame length is 212mm long. This thing is going to be a pretty good sized bot crawling around the floors.

We do not have any of these where I live but found this

PS I agree with Aardvark that PET-G is nicer to prinf and gives better results if you aren't bothered with chemical compatability.
