Replicator 2x is destructing its build as it prints

[Sebastian Finke]

Your temps are bit on the high side. Try an extruder temp of 230 and lower the bed temp to about 100 (or less even). The glass point of ABS is 105 so you don't want to go over that. Lowering your speed is good too, especially for the first layer and definitely if you have small holes.

Other things I would throw in as a matter of diligence are 1) calibrating your extruder and 2) definitely keep you printer completely enclosed when printing ABS.

I tested different temps on a test model and 240°C seemed good, i didnt go higher tho. under 220°c it would just never come out of the extruder.

also, how do you lower the speed only for one layer?

i think it has been calibrated when we recieved it, because it wouldnt work before, and the printer is completely closed when printing.
