Hello fellow makers. My name is Phil and I am a teacher in America. I recently convinced my school to purchase the Ultimaker 2 this year and have been preparing for my class next fall.
The problem.
I purchased filament from maker geeks and have been having trouble getting the abs to work at a satisfactory level. I've run multiple tests and even built a front door to prevent airflow, but the prints still wont come out. I'm running on the following settings: Nozzle 240c, Bed 100c, 0.4mm extruder, Flow 107%, fan 30%, and 20% infill. I have used glue stick, Hairspray, ABS slurry, and blue tape to help with bed adhesion.
The temperature recommendation on the abs is 230c-240c
So far my best results are solid parts with good outside layers but the infill is thin and contains gaps also the bottom warps off the build plate.
Please help the more specific you are the better. If you have used this product and found the magic settings include everything.
Thanks
Phil
