Kinda had it with ABS. Trying to do large prints and the warping and cracking is driving me nuts, that is if the print doesn’t peel off the build plate and fail altogether in the first place. I’ve done what I can as far as print settings to have the best possibility of success, but even then the prints will often split.
I print car parts and things that are exposed to heat and chemicals occasionally, so ABS has been the easy choice, but are there any filaments out there that have comparable qualities but aren’t as likely to warp?
Not the person you asked, but in my experience good (!) ASA is way better manageable. It still shrinks and can be annoying, but way less than ABS. As with ABS especially a good print bed and heated chamber is doing wonders.
On a glass plate + 3DLac + Brim it goes absolutely nowhere. Quite the opposite, I have to further cool down the plate and use a scraper to get it off. There might be better plates available, I just went with the oldschool structured glass because I wanted things to fucking work during print.
Thanks for the second opinion. Sounds like ASA is on the menu for a couple tryout prints.
