I printed a 20X20 test cube this morning using ABS to closely observe the odor and to see how well it would bond to a cold, untreated glass build plate.
It started corner lifting at 4mm on the first attempt and 9mm on the second. Failed
Then I gave it a glue stick wipe and all went well.
However, I did notice after about 1.5 hrs of operation the bed temp went from 25C to 37C just from nozzle heat exposure so that puts the validity in question
My primary objective was to observe odor. I generally don't pay attention to it. With the enclosure closed I couldn't smell anything, even standing above it. When I open the enclosure to get my hands in it I certainly notice the chemical smell but it's not overwhelming. It does have a burning plastic smell. I even went outside for 5 minutes to clear my senses and came in and walked straight to the printer and couldn't smell it until I opened the enclosure.
BTW, my enclosure is 3 $10 Walmart end tables stacked and $40 of Home Depot plexiglass. I printed all the mounting brackets and knobs in ABS (under the cardboard box) :)
