ABS seems to be the hardest material to get right sometimes, I have had some prints come out flawless and then larger prints just refuse to stay stuck. I am still working on getting ABS to behave. A few things have helped.
Starting with a fresh build plate with a fresh layer of Gluestick or tape. both tape and gluestick loose there holding power after a few prints.
Getting the bed Z height set, if its to high the first layer will not stick.
A brim sometimes helps.
Slow down the print speed, I have been playing with print speed and that seems to help allot.
Reduce infill when possible, more plastic means more warping from cooling.
My last print was a large shroud for a heatsink(100*69mm)/fan(92mm) combo, the print was pretty large and i had a brim, it still managed to pull up all 4 corners but the center stayed stuck, even with all the warping it was a SOB to pull off the plate.
Qidi X Plus 3 Paper thin first...
