what printer do you have.
what speeds are you printing ?

Back in the dark and smelly age when I used to print with abs - I never had any problems, as long as I used a raft.
I mean rafts come with their own problems and should be avoided if at all possible.

But in an open frame printer, with a raft and 50mm/s max speed and a REALLY slow first layer. Stuff printed fairly easily.

Settings wise - blimey that was 8 years ago.
I 'think' I ran bed temp at 100c, with abs juice (mix acetone with clear abs to form a thinnish slurry and wipe the bed with it.)
Print temps - as low as you can get away with.
so maybe 230-235c.
The lower the temp the less the final warpage.

But in all honesty, with the materials we have available for 3d printing today - there is almost no necessity to ever use abs, and many reasons not to.

But as long as you get your settings right - it's not hard stuff to print. Just slow and stinky :-)
I don't get headaches - but I used to get them when I used abs.
