eSun ABS vs Ultimaker ABS top layer quality

Posted · eSun ABS vs Ultimaker ABS top layer quality

I made some prints using the Ultimaker ABS and the top surface looks acceptable. I tried some eSun ABS with the generic ABS profile and the top layer quality is far inferior. The best I can describe it is having deep lines making it much less smooth. I know I could use ironing, but that adds a lot to the cycle time.

 

Does anyone have a good profile for eSUN ABS or suggestions on how to flatten down the top layer lines without ironing?

    You should optimise the "flow" of the eSun, since Ultimaker provides optimised profiles. Either you use Orca Slicer instead of Cura, which provides tool for said calibration, or you follow Elli's guide https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/extrusion_multiplier.html or you simply use the Ultimaker ABS profile for eSun as well.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
