Hi sorry yes I'm printing abs parts for my old prusa i3', time for a new home. Now I have the ultimaker.
I've just run the print again with the same results
About halway up the print as the nozzel moves from one part to the next a there's a little bit oosing out, I guess this is because I've increased the temp to 235-240 ans the abs is more fluid, should I be increasing the retract to stop th eos sing between printing parts ,
it's currently set to 40mm/s dist 4.5 don't know which setting to change' should I increase the speed or the retraction length ?
I decided to test the last part I printed and it looks great but if twisted a little it starts to break up, I did the same to a part printed in pla and I couldn't even make a mark on it.
So what would be a good test print to check the parts are fusingptogeter correctly.
What tempreture do you set your bed to if you print abs at 260, and do you cover the side to make a chamber around the printer.

Hi!
can you explain a little bit more about what you are printing?
0.3 layer hight.. ok, but what material? i'm guessing ABS because of the bed temp, but 235 is a really low temp for ABS, i use 260..
