Thanks for the information. A mate also said he only uses ABS.
I have not eventuated into doing changes for extra brim as yet. I have not worked that out yet but I have loaded a couple of programs to make changes. I guess I was not printing the easiest thing with ABS being roughly five inches long and 1.5 inches wide and very thin sides. Nice GeckoTec plate you are using. There is no trouble with the Kapton and diluted PVA glue as it takes over 5 minutes for me to pry off say a 2 inch by 2 inch base even when it is cold. But I will try the ABS and thinners mixture next time with ABS. With the ABS lifting on the ends on the above print I do not think it was from lack of grip to the bed but really excessive force from the bending.
I have been getting the strings with the ABS but not a problem so far but after doing as much as you have printed I suppose it becomes a pain.
Lowering the temperature for the first few rows like what was mentioned here to help stop the ends curling up seemed to help and will get back to the ABS soon.Last edited by Firepower; 05-02-2016 at 05:47 AM.
