So I’m looking to up my game for success on ABS. Here’s what I think I need to do, and I’m wondering if there’s anything else I need, starting from the point where my speeds and feeds and printbed temperature are pretty well dialled in, with a profile in Cura that is set up specifically for this job. (ex: CoolPrintThing_Inland_ABS_(fast/med/fine) with the printable STL named CoolPrintThing, or if multiple parts, all STLs in a directory named CoolPrintThing.
New roll of filament:
Dry at 55C (ABS) for 24 hrs unless straight out of the bag, then leave in dryer box while mounted on the machine.
Measure diameter in multiple spots, average, and plug that into slicer
Calibrate extrusion to this roll, set that in startup Gcode for this job.
Print temperature tower on this roll, pick extruder temp for this roll, set that in startup Gcode for this job
Calibrate K factor for this roll and temperature, set that in startup Gcode for this job.
Save this startup Gcode to the PC for this specific job and filament. CoolPrintThing_Start_Gcode
Log the calibrations hoping to find an average value that will work for this brand, type, and color.
So, what did I miss?
