How can you reduce warping in large FDM prints made with ABS filament?
AUse a heated build platform and enclose the printer to maintain temperature
BPrint at the lowest possible nozzle temperature
CIncrease print speed and disable cooling fans
DUse a very thin layer height and no raft
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand warping causes in ABS prints

    Warping happens due to uneven cooling causing shrinkage and lifting from the bed.

  2. Step 2: Apply best practices to reduce warping

    Heated bed and enclosed printer keep temperature stable, reducing warping.

  3. Final Answer:

    Use a heated build platform and enclose the printer to maintain temperature -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Warping fix = Heated bed + enclosure [OK]
Quick Trick: Keep print warm with heated bed and enclosure [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Lowering nozzle temperature too much
  • Increasing speed without temperature control
  • Ignoring bed heating for ABS
