its interesting you don't use any bed heating for abs, seems to go against popular belief.
That 20X20 is about as far as I would go cold, that's why I drew it that size. That was my comfortable limit this morning.
When I started I thought everything had to be hot, done by the numbers, don't deviate from internet folklore. I have another spool of ABS I haven't tried yet. I may have to work that material differently.
My intent was to demonstrate how well glue on glass works with a tuned in machine. I thought I could get by without the glue but it was too tall. A little twist and it popped right off. No hammer and chisel required.
Although you may not smell it, apparently ABS is the worst in terms of voc and particle emissions. Not sure if you watched the video at all.You're exposed to more VOC walking into a furniture store or anywhere around town. Stay out of parking garages.
my print is done, .... I learned a couple things ....and that's what it's all about. It got you off the couch, didn't it?
