I'm really not an expert at ABS bonding. I've been told that .3mm layers is too thick because you don't get good contact with the layer below (traces of filament being layed down are too round so you get air gaps). However it seems to me you want thick layers so you have plenty of hot ABS heating the layer below (thicker layer should mean more heat is transferred to get the below layer to melt more). So I would expect .2mm layers would be better than .1mm layers. But I could be wrong - it might be that .1mm layers works better because the hot nozzle is closer to the lower surface? I don't know.
Certainly higher temperatures help, enclosing the machine so the air around your part is at least 40C should help, zero fan or very little fan should help. But I have gotten nozzle clogs when I print too slowly at 255C so I try to avoid going over 250C or if I do I make sure I'm printing more volume per second (e.g. 35mm/sec .2mm layers should be enough but 35mm/sec at .1mm layers is too slow).
