Platform temperature when using different materials

· Platform temperature when using different materials
Does the platform still need to stay at the pre-set 90C for ABS
Yes. Or at least very very likely. How big is the ABS part? You can certainly try 70C which is cool enough that the PLA shouldn't sag (barely cool enough). Or maybe 60C. But I usually print ABS at 110C.
But if your part is more than 100mm side to side it will almost certainly lift off the bed as you print higher layers.
Maybe you should include photos?
And why can't the insert parts be ABS? Or Nylon or some other material? Pictures please.

By the way - are you using fan? Consider using 40% fan by the time you pause. This will cool the ABS to a temperature a bit lower than 90C and may be enough for the PLA parts to not sag. Glass temp for PLA is around 55C. ABS around 100C.
