    "The score-58 comment is an enclosure at 70 °C (158 °F) for the ABS separation thread. It is not a chamber setting stored on PolyLite ABS.",

Score 16: \"Reduce the layer height, so the hot polymer could cool down by itself. The smaller the volume of molten lines, the faster they'll cool down to ambient temps. Like 1mm wide and 0.2mm high. Or lower the speed to get the same effect.\" r/BambuLab 10a845l, score 10, starts a PLA or PLA+ list and is cut off at \"Print temp to 215 for fir…\". Score 6: \"I also have this issue. Just started using the cool plate instead which is frustrating.\" The editorial summary says higher temperature, less cooling, and an enclosure for ABS. The excerpts support the enclosure comment and the smaller bead. They do not give a fan percentage. No excerpt was supplied for r/FixMyPrint ufz2cr, r/3Dprinting zp4gz5, or r/FixMyPrint u3ubuy.",
