support upper layers without warping or drooping, but low enough to finish
parts faster.
Protip: Use an infill of 15% minimum for best results and do not exceed 95%
to account for any inconsistencies in the filament.
Number of Shells:
This option determines how thick the outline of the part is. This number
typically does not need to be changed beyond the default.
Protip: Adding Shells can add additional strength to a part, but adding too
many can cause holes in the part. These holes are caused typically by an infill
calculation, if the hole is small enough, it is not filled in. It is important to
avoid too many holes
Extruder Temperature:
Left and Right extruders: These should be kept at 230°C.
Protip: If you are using your own material, you may have to test printing at
different temperatures. If you are using MakerBot ABS, no temperature
adjustment is required.
Heated Build Plate:
Build Plate: This should be checked, and the temperature should be 125°C.
The build plate is heated due to the printed material that is used. ABS plastic
shrinks quite a bit when cooling so a heated build surface both keeps the
plastic from shrinking and warping the parts, but also allows the plastic to
better stick to the surface without popping off.
Protip: 125°C is one of the best temperatures for ABS on Kapton Tape, but this
can be changed. If you print with your own material, you should test at lower
and higher temperatures in order to get the best results.
WARNING: 125°C CAN BURN SKIN!
DO NOT TOUCH THE BUILD PLATE WHEN HOT!
