I have a prusa clone (Tevo Tarrantula) and I can never get ABS to stick to the bed... |
| Vigo:
My technique for getting ABS to stick - Heat the bed up pretty high Let it get nice and dirty with glue stick. a thick coat is not a bad thing. I rarely clean the bed, just put another layer of glue stick on. I will put a damp paper towel on a hot bed to even out the layers of glue stick if it the glue gets too thick or uneven. Have the first layer really tight to the bed. The layer should be smashing a little against the plate. I do that, and I can get the smallest parts to stick without needing a raft or skirt. |

What’s the benefit of printing ABS over PLA? |
| HaRuMaN:
ABS is stronger |
| Vigo:
Stronger, doesn't degrade outdoors, higher melting point. Downside other than the heated bed that needs to be tuned to prevent slipping is the extrusion stinks a bit like burny plastic. A lot of people prefer to have ventilation when printing ABS. I kinda like the sheen on PLA better, but for hard parts I like ABS. |
