How to Optimize Your Printing

Based on the properties of ABS-GF, it’s strongly recommended to consider the following tips to realize best performance:

1. Enclosure

An enclosed chamber helps maintain a consistent temperature around your print, reducing warping and improving print quality.

2. Use Brim

Adding a brim can significantly reduce warping by increasing the adhesion surface area.

3. Dry Your Filament

Although drying ABS-GF is optional, it's strongly recommended to dry it to prevent poor layer adhesion and brittleness.
