These are general printer settings that work. If filament has different temperature settings, follow filament temperature settings. | These are general printer settings that work. If filament has different temperature settings, follow filament temperature settings. | ||

In order to construct heated chamber -- cover the front of printer with a piece of plywood or MDF from the workshop and put some cardboard on top of the printer out of extruder path so the heat escapes more slowly. Pre-heating heaated bed for 5 minutes before starting helps a lot -- set the Bed temperature to 100C in Octopi temperature tab. | In order to construct heated chamber -- cover the front of printer with a piece of plywood or MDF from the workshop and put some cardboard on top of the printer out of extruder path so the heat escapes more slowly.

ABS Juice: help with sticking to the bed (especially for large prints) | |||
*when bed is cool, wipe the kapton tape clean with acetone (I used a paper towel with acetone on it) | |||
*take a clean paper towel, put acetone on it and wipe a piece of the ABS with it to get some 'ABS juice' on the towel. Then wipe this over the bed. There should be some failed prints in the 3D printer, or check the mini-can beside the 3D printer for failed prints | |||
*allow to dry completely (~5 minutes), you should see streaks on the bed of ABS. | |||
*ABS should now stick well. Remember to block the build volume to stop air drafts. | |||

It's better to start ABS prints towards the back of the printer where ambient temperature is more stable. To disable auto-centering, in Slic3r Prusa Edition go to File --> Preferences then uncheck 'Auto-center Parts'. | It's better to start ABS prints towards the back of the printer where ambient temperature is more stable.
