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

Keep drafts off ABS and ASA, use the bed range on that spool's row, and add glue stick or PVA hairspray; a first layer that never stuck is bed adhesion.

Corner lift on ABS and ASA is a draft and a bed problem. A first layer that never stuck is [bed adhesion](/answers/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](/answers/plate) 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](/answers/abs_print) 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](/brand/bambu-lab/abs) and [PolyLite ABS](/brand/polymaker/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](/brand/bambu-lab/asa) lists 90–110 °C (194–230 °F) and drying at 80 °C (176 °F) for 8 h. [Prusament ASA](/brand/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](/answers/asa_print) 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](/material/abs) and [ASA](/material/asa) are the material hubs.

## 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.
