I have been printing with solely Lulzbot ABS for quite some time now. I used an ABS/Acetone mixture for about a year which gave great surface adhesion for ABS prints but was messy to deal with. I just recently discovered PEI Sheets which is a special plastic that gains adhesion properties when it is heated. Since I installed it onto my ultimaker 2+ glass plate I have had 0 adhesion problems using ABS and all you have to do before every print is wipe it with an alcohol pad. Best method by far and can find installation videos on youtube. Here is a link for where I bought my PEI sheet. Also, to get the best enclosed heating for an Ultimaker 2+ I suggest getting the front cover through ultimaker and use a large cardboard box to cover the top. P.S. when using an enclosed heating space for ABS I highly suggest turning your fans on to 20%
For LulzBot ABS w/ PEI Sheet:
Extruder Temp: 235C
Bed Temp: 80C
P.M. me if you have any questions.

I printed it with an UM3 and used the default generic ABS settings in Cura, haven't changed anything.
