PRINTING WITH ABS FILAMENTS
4.1.2
The slicing settings
For slicing with Slic3r, download the configuration file “Artifex2 ABS.ini” from our website.
Then, follow the steps in Sections 3.2.2 to update slicing settings for printing with ABS
filaments. The main difference from the settings for printing with PLA filaments are:
Filament settings
Both extruder and bed are set at higher temperatures, and cooling is
turned off for printing with ABS filaments.
Printer settings
In the Custom G-code, higher extruder and bed temperature are set
before the printing starts.
For slicing with CuraEngine, download the filament configuration file “ABS.rcf”, and
import the file and slice the model following steps in Section 3.2.3.
