Filament Guide for UP Plus 3D Printer. Printing with ABS plastic can be a bit tricky due to its high melting point and tendency to warp. However, with the right settings and techniques, you can achieve excellent results. Here's how to set up your filament guide for printing with ABS: 1. Prepare the Print Bed: Before starting the print job, make sure the print bed is clean and level. This will ensure that the first layer of the object adheres well to the bed. 2. Set the Temperature: The temperature settings can significantly impact the quality of the print. For ABS, you'll want to set the nozzle temperature between 220°C and 260°C. The bed temperature should be around 80-90°C. 3. Choose the Right Filament Guide: Select a filament guide that is specifically designed for your UP Plus printer model. This will ensure compatibility and optimal performance. 4. Calibrate the Z-Axis: To prevent warping, it's essential to calibrate the z-axis properly. You can do this by adjusting the z-axis screws until the nozzle is at the correct height. 5. Monitor the Print Job: Keep an eye on the print job as it progresses. If you notice any issues with warping or poor adhesion, adjust the temperature settings and filament guide accordingly. By following these steps, you should be able to achieve excellent results when printing with ABS plastic using your UP Plus 3D printer.
