Bambu Lab X1C - ABS Workout - The Sequel

3D Printing + Kupper + ABS

After my aborted first attempt I settled for a single block with slightly different settings... These are the results. Remember: my settings came from trying to print the toughest object in ABS (for my Sunlu mod), not trying to make the prettiest print...


Results

This is the 'small screwdrivers and other lose tools' block, to gather up all silly strange screwdrivers I've collected over the year. I guess I'll throw away half of 'm one of these days 😏

Let's start with the result:

There's always room for improvement...

I think I'm still over-extruding a little (which I did to increase the resistance to layer delamination). I think I'll try printing the remaining two blocks with slightly less extrusion, just for the looks.

I also might give one of my new 'Chinese' plates a shot... or maybe not. It's better to keep all variables under control, and trying a large piece of ABS on an unknown plate might not be the smartest thing to do.

Thanks to the Bambu discord I tuned my ABS settings a bit more, and below is my latest print:

These are silica gel spool inserts, as they came out of the printer after cooling down for a while. These haven't been treated in anyway. No acetone smoothing, nothing.

Not bad, though I think there's still something off with the horizontal flat faces.
