Warping and un-sticking of the ABS print on Ultimaker Original with heated bed

Hi All,

since it's my first post, I'd like to say hello ! I'm Mark from Poland, and I printed some PLA, with success.

When I started my endeavour with ABS.. everything goes wrong.

here's the link to few pictures of my last print: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9Y6wfbUq_f9RlZ0UERqMVAzZVE

it's red abs (obviously), nozzle:250 deg, bed:90 deg, 3mm brim, fan speed: 50 (out of 255), acetone+abs on the bed/table to adhere.

Would You be kind enough to give me some suggestions ? Is my first layer ok ? or should it be more squished ?

Thanks in advance!

    I think you just need some bed adhesion helper. Glue stick, hairspray, abs + acetone slurry. The first layer looks ok I think. But I haven't print abs for quite a long time so maybe ithers can guve you more tips.

    Btw does the top of the heater block has a massive blob leak or is just my imagination?

    I stopped the print when it came of the bed, so this blob is actually a fantasy :)There was abs+acetone slurry, but maybe it was to thin ? What kind of glue stick should I use ? - paper glue or hairspray - any hairspray would work? :)

    i just checked again the picture of the heater block.. :) yeah ! it's some pla residue, which helps maintain temperature by raising heat capacity ..

    Just wondering. Fans where off right?

    Hopefully someone can help you. I never print ABS. I suppose for ABS you need to have more enclosed the printer so the heat doesn't escape fast. It should help at least. Also maybe bed at 100C?

    Set the bed to 110C. This is probably your only issue. You can start printing when you get the bed to 100C.  Enclosing the printer will help with this.   There's a big difference between 90C (below ABS softening point) and 100C (above ABS softening point).

    Consider lowering the fans even more.  This part seems to have no overhangs.  If there are no overhangs and no bridging then you don't need any fan for ABS - just turn it off.

    Your first layer looks squished enough but it's hard to say - more squish is always better even such that it becomes transparent.

     

    Here's a relevant frame from the above video:

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
