Are your ABS 3D prints warping again? This is a common issue encountered by almost all users who print with ABS filament on their 3D printers! To make things easier for everyone, today we're going to share some tips and tricks to solve ABS warping!

Here are the methods:​
1. Brim.
The first point is the slicer software setting. Enable the Brim function. A brim refers to an additional expanded portion printed around the edges where the object meets the heated bed. This increases the contact area between the bottom of the object and the print platform, enhancing the grip between the model and the heated bed. After printing, it can be trimmed off.

2. Raft.
The second point also involves setting the slicer software. Enable the Raft function. A raft refers to an additional few layers printed underneath the object's base, forming a flat plate with a larger area than the original base. This increases the contact area between the object's bottom and the print platform, strengthening the grip between the model and the heated bed.

PS. The two methods above are the simplest, as they only require a few clicks with the mouse, and the software handles the rest of the calculations! However, whether using Brim or Raft, the additional printed material is still ABS, which can still warp. Therefore, these methods cannot guarantee a 100% solution to the warping problem.


3. BuildTak 3D Printing Build Surface
 BuildTak 3D Printing Build Surface is a print surface designed specifically for FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printers. It allows objects printed with filaments like ABS, PLA, HIPS, PET+, and PC to adhere to it without easily warping.
You can also apply a thin layer of glue stick to make nylon and t-glase (PETT) filaments adhere to it. It's easier to apply than regular blue tape, less prone to bubbles, reusable, and also protects the print platform. Finished prints are also easy to remove.
