My next plan......
So Ive decided that I am going to machine a new platen out of ABS itself. I will re-zero to the ABS platen and run a test part to see what happens. Theoretically, I am going on the premises that an ABS raft will literally melt to the platen and, with any luck, will not be able to peel. I know this is how the Dimensions machines do it, but they are much higher end so who knows.

Anyways, thanks for your help and if you can think of anything else, please drop me a line.
