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.
Drying Condition:
Blast Drying Oven: 80 °C, 8h
X1 Series Heatbed: 90 - 100 °C, 13h

4. Other Settings

Build Plate & Bed Temperature: Smooth PEI Plate (90-100 °C); Textured PEI Plate (90-100 °C)
Printing Speed: < 180 mm/s
Nozzle Temperature: 240 - 280 ℃
Part Cooling Fan: 0 - 60%
Annealing: 80 - 90 ℃, 6 - 12 hours
