Hi there,
After a few weeks of testing my printer and being very impressed with how it prints I've got a roll of abs to play with.
As i found pla great testing is there any special settings I needed to change.
In pla I use the blue tape but I understand you need to heat the bed. Do you print directly onto the glass and what's a recommended temperature for abs and the hot bed.

For ABS filament,the recommended temp is 230-240℃ for extruder，90-110℃ for heat bed.

Re: moving from pla to abs

Re: moving from pla to abs
Pla after abs:
From my experience when i move from abs to pla. I always set the temp to 240c for few minute let the pla flow down few second until i see that all come freely then i down the temp to regular pla around 200
Abs after pla:
no problem.....

Re: moving from pla to abs
after getting some other issues fixed and realising when it was extruding the filament i realised that it was too far away from the bed on the first layer. this happened also in pla too.
I relised that i had to reload the configuration file back into repetier and realised theres one for pla and abs. Next time ill load the config for abs and try it out.
I changed back to pla and got a blocked extruder but that was pretty easy to unblock.
