Abs settings
Can someone direct me to a good abs settings thread similar to the thread about petg that is pinned to the front page?

Re: Removing bed springs
I'm ok with keeping the springs , but I want to stiffen things up enough so that a dial indicator will read correctly without moving the build plate .

Removing bed springs
Has anyone successfully improved the bed leveling by removing the springs ? Cnc machines have no springs so I can't see why we need them on the m2.

Re: Multiple processes simplify 3d
I think I understand what you are referring to. I have done a good bit of machining and in a cnc mill we set zero to the top of the part typically ( not always). I'm new to the 3D printing but it seems odd to me that you aren't told to touch off the nozzle to the top of the build plate using a feele...

Re: Multiple processes simplify 3d
The first layer on the first process is of course set to zero and it is set to stop at .2mm which is the first layer height. I'm asking if the first layer of the second process should be .2 or .4mm.

Multiple processes simplify 3d
I'm using 2 processes in s3d. The first is just one layer with a height of .2 mm. I want the second process to begin on the second layer. Do I set its beginning print height to .2 mm or . 4 mm since it will have the same layer height?

Re: ODD RIPPLE EFFECT IN CYLINDERS
I agree that the base looks bad too. Im using an extrusion multiplier of .97 right now and if I go any lower I have separations between threads on the top layers. But yes it still seems to be overextruding . Anyone got any wisdom about setting that?

ABS QUALITY VS PLA QUALITY
IM JUST WONDERING, CAN ABS BE PRINTED WITH THE SAME DETAIL AS PLA? WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED MY MACHINE I RAN A COUPLE PARTS WITH THE INCLUDED PLA AND THEY CAME OUT VERY NICE. DETAIL WAS GREAT, ALMOST NO ARTIFACTS. I CHANGED TO ABS AND HAVE BEEN USING IT EVER SINCE BUT I JUST CANT SEEM TO GET THE ...
