How do I stop warping (especially ABS/ASA)?

Corner lift on ABS and ASA is a draft and a bed problem. A first layer that never stuck is bed adhesion. The two get mixed in this cluster, and the temperatures stay on the spool.

What the supplied comments say

The plate comment we can use is r/FixMyPrint 1526ay2: PVA-based hairspray or glue stick. Build plates is which sheet that glue goes on. The catalog does not store a hairspray product.

r/3Dprinting 10mpir5, in the update supplied here, is someone who had misread the bed springs and then sent the nozzle to X0 Y0. That belongs with first-layer setup. It does not add an ABS bed.

r/3Dprinting 177x4r5 is the infrared-lamp thread. One comment points at NASA technical report 20170000214. Another is about moving a fire extinguisher away from heat. This page does not adopt a lamp distance, a chamber temperature, or a joke as a setting. ABS printing cites the same report as a pointer only.

r/prusa3d 16o8zv7 and r/BambuLab 17dz2tl are in the bank. No comment text from them was supplied, so none is quoted.

Catalog beds

Bambu Lab ABS and PolyLite ABS list a bed of 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). PolyLite ABS also lists drying at 70 °C (158 °F) for 6 h. Bambu ABS lists drying at 80 °C (176 °F) for 8 h. Bambu Lab ASA lists 90–110 °C (194–230 °F) and drying at 80 °C (176 °F) for 8 h. Prusament ASA lists 100–120 °C (212–248 °F), and drying is not stored. Enclosure required is blank on each row. How to print ASA is the ventilation note for styrene.

Drafts

Keep moving air off the part and keep part cooling low. That process is stated on the ABS page. It is still not an enclosure-required cell in the catalog. ABS and ASA are the material hubs.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Glue stick or PVA hairspray is the plate step a supplied comment actually names.
  • Bed numbers stay on the spool row. Bambu ABS and PolyLite ABS list 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). Prusament ASA lists 100–120 °C (212–248 °F).

Cons

  • Enclosure required is blank on these rows. Draft control is the process, not a filled cell.
  • The bank lists r/prusa3d 16o8zv7 and r/BambuLab 17dz2tl. The supplied excerpts do not include a comment from either thread, so this page does not quote one.

What the community says

This cluster has no consensus summary and no recommended-material list in the bank. The usable plate comment is on r/FixMyPrint 1526ay2: PVA-based hairspray or glue stick. r/3Dprinting 10mpir5, in the text supplied here, is a user correcting a bed-spring reading. r/3Dprinting 177x4r5 points at NASA technical report 20170000214 and includes a fire-extinguisher joke. Temperatures below are the catalog rows, not a lamp setup.

Questions

Will glue stick replace the ABS bed temperature?

No. Glue stick or PVA hairspray is the plate step from the r/FixMyPrint 1526ay2 comment. Bambu ABS and PolyLite ABS still list a bed of 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). Prusament ASA lists 100–120 °C (212–248 °F). Use the row you loaded.

Does this page take a chamber temperature from the NASA report?

No. A comment on r/3Dprinting 177x4r5 links NASA technical report 20170000214. The link is a pointer. Lamp distance and chamber temperature stay off this page.
