You want to print ABS filament which tends to warp. How should you configure the heated bed and surface material for best results?
ASet bed temperature to 30°C and use cardboard
BSet bed temperature to 50°C and use painter's tape
CNo heated bed and use bare aluminum
DSet bed temperature to 100°C and use a PEI sheet on glass
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand ABS printing needs

    ABS requires a hot bed (~90-110°C) to reduce warping and improve adhesion.
  2. Step 2: Choose suitable surface material

    PEI sheets on glass provide excellent adhesion and withstand high temperatures needed for ABS.
  3. Final Answer:

    Set bed temperature to 100°C and use a PEI sheet on glass -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    ABS print = Hot bed + PEI sheet [OK]
Quick Trick: ABS needs hot bed (~100°C) and PEI surface [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Using low bed temps for ABS
  • Choosing surfaces that don't handle heat
  • Ignoring warping issues
