Printing with silver ABS different than red ABS?
I am printing a circular medallion and when I print it with Hatchbox red ABS, it prints just fine. When I print it with Hatchbox silver ABS, the raft starts to curl and the edges of the medallion curl. I tried lowering the bed temp (printing red at 225/107) to 105 and 100 and it still happens. Any tips on printing with this type of filament? I am at a loss.

Different filaments have different properties, even if they are both ABS. wrt peeling/warping: is your chamber enclosed? It should be for ABS.

The typical rainbow colors from the same vendor (if a quality vendor) should all print similarly.
For White, Grey, Black and Silver, there are a variety of coloring agents that might be used; some may require higher or lower temperatures.

In my experience, just the extruder.

When printing with ABS if a curl is observed you should have increased the temperature, not reduced.

Based in my experience, you should increase your temperature when 3d printing Silver filaments, even if you're using ABS material.
