Tips for printing ABS on the Flashforge Guider4
- ABS warps significantly without an enclosure — this printer is open-frame; use a draft shield or enclosure accessory.
- Minimize fan cooling — high fan speeds cause layer cracking in ABS.
- Increase bed temperature gradually if warping occurs: try 105–110°C.
- ABS fumes — print in a ventilated area.
