I have alot of troubles printing ABS.
With PLA prints really great but ABS not and don't know what I am doing wrong.
Here are examples of ABS (black) and PLA (blue)
fro ABS, when I tried lower temp with ABS it doesn't stick together.
heatbed is 95 oC
and nozzle 230 oC

ello,
230C is at the lower end of the temp scale for ABS try 245-260 " must admit 260 at the other end of the extreme but should do
your 95 C bed temp is fine,

On my XYZ Da Vinci Printer ABS printing temp is set as 213 Deg C. On my other printers I follow the ABS filament manufacturers setting for the colour I use,mostly 235 deg c and above. I get great ABS prints on my Hobbyking Turnigy Fabrikator (not the mini) Heated bed set to 90 deg C
