Additionally where possible avoid using a part cooling fan mounted to the extruder, as used when printing with PLA or other low-temperature materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal temperature for the heat bed and enclose can vary depending on the part you wish to print. There is a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003etrade off between ambient temperature and the quality of the print results\u003c\/strong\u003e. A hotter environment results in a slower, more even cooling of the part as it prints which reduces the tendency to warp. The trade off is that the quality of underside surfaces may be compromised as filament may still be molten and unstable when the next layer of filament is formed. The advantage of Up Fila ABS+ Premium filament is the fact that it\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eremains stable at a higher temperature and thus more stable resulting with a better print quality and less warping\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are trying to print very small parts the head radiating from the nozzle may prevent the filament to solidify the part in time for the next layer. A pro tip here is to\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eprint multiple items a distance apart from each other\u003c\/strong\u003e. This gives each part enough time to solidify whilst the nozzle has moved away to print elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are all types of methods people use to assist adhesion, everyone has their personal preference. If printing on glass, we have found that an\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABS slurry is the strongest for ABS printed parts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Dissolve scraps of ABS filament into acetone to form a slurry the consistency of milk. Apply a very think layer on the print surface, avoid inhalation and do not contact your skin.

A hotter environment results in a slower, more even cooling of the part as it prints which reduces the tendency to warp.

Additionally where possible avoid air to blow over the nozzle area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal temperature for the heatbed and enclose can vary depending on the part you wish to print. There is a \u003cstrong\u003etrade off between ambient temperature and the quality of the print results\u003c\/strong\u003e. A hotter environment results slower more even cooling of the part as it prints which reduces the tendency to warp. The trade off is that the quality of underside surfaces may be compromised as filament may still be molten and unstable when the next layer of filament is formed. The advantage of Up Fila ABS+ High Strength filament is the fact that it \u003cstrong\u003eremains stable at a higher temperature and thus more stable- resulting with a better print quality and less warping\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are trying to print very small parts the head radiating from the nozzle may prevent the filament to solidify the part in time for the next layer. A pro tip here is to\u003cstrong\u003e print multiple items a distance apart from each other\u003c\/strong\u003e. This gives each part enough time to solidify whilst the nozzle has moved away to print elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are all types of methods people use to assist adhesion, everyone has their personal preference. If printing on glass. We have found that an \u003cstrong\u003eABS slurry is the strongest for ABS printed parts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Dissolve scarps of ABS filament into acetone to form a slurry the consistency of milk. Apply a very think layer on the print surface, avoid inhalation and do not contact your skin. (Not recommended in school environments an not necessary to use with an Up Printer as the perforated board is very effective at adhering prints)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. \u003cstrong\u003eClean the print bed surface\u003c\/strong\u003e with a rubbing alcohol such as isopropyl or acetone (avoid contact with skin).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. Ensure the \u003cstrong\u003enozzle is clean from any debris\u003c\/strong\u003e prior to printing. Heat the nozzle to full printing temperature and use a wire brush. Work you way around the nozzle tip avoiding deforming the hole where to filament comes out. This will \u003cstrong\u003eavoid your model from being contaminated with charred material\u003c\/strong\u003e during the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Check that the nozzle height calibration is correct. If a print does not stick, it is because the nozzle height is not calibrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. Optimal bed and enclosure temperature depends on the part you wish to print. As a rule of thumb, a smaller part have less tendency to warp and has less time to stablise before the next layer is formed, so print it with a lower bed\/enclosure temperature to ensure the best surface finish- say a bed temperature of 80-90°C and 40- 50°C for the enclosure for a small parts.  If you are printing \u003cstrong\u003elarge parts use a higher bed temperature of 90-110°C\u003c\/strong\u003e and an enclosure of around 60°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. If you are printing a large part \u003cstrong\u003epre-heated bed for 30 to 60 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e prior to starting the build. This will warm the enclosure as well as ensure that the heated bed surface has an even heat distribution. If you start a print as soon as the bed reached temperature, the bed will still be cold on the edges. As the bed heats us whilst your part is printing, the bed will keep heat (and expanding) which will laminate your part from the bed and curl on the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAcetone Vapor Smoothing- Increase Part Strength \u0026amp; Produce Air Tight ABS Parts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can make ABS 3d printed parts stronger, air tight and smooth using this method.
