Issues with Black ABS material

Post by eposey01 » Wed Mar 01, 2017 6:39 pm

Hello, I am currently using your black ABS material and as it is printing (laying down the foundation the material curls up off the bed and becomes loose. This does not occur on the white ABS material we use. the nozzle setting is 230 C and the bed setting is 100 C. What can be done so I can use the black ABS material.

Thank you,

You need a bed adhesion promoter, like ABS slurry on Kapton, or a PEI sheet.

Thanks, I will give it a try. I've also read some people use hair spray. What's the story behind that?
