Topic: Print-Rite ABS Filament Junk (Not)

For the past 2 days been trying to get Print-Rite yellow ABS filament to stick.

In the beginning, when it was first used, I had some minor problems w/ corner lifting.
Ive always used hairspray. For very large prints I use ABS goop.

Then lifting got worse, to the point of barley sticking at all. Gobs of ABS goop, temperature changes, several bed adjustments
proved to have no difference.

Tried a different company ABS, using same settings. Stuck w/ no lifting.

Conclusion, another garbage filament.

Since I couldnt return the filament and stuck w/ it, tried again.

Been noticing that my filaments, PLA and ABS , needed increased temps since installing the E3D lite hot end.

I used 235C and 95C, and the Print Rite ABS filament printed and stuck. Using hairspray and brim.
Amazing what a few degrees can do.

i take it you didn't realize there is about a 30 to 50 degree difference between the stock SD hotends and the E3D? lol

most of my ABS runs well around the 235C range in the E3D, with PLA being about 215C - ymmv a little

for comparison, the Stock SD hotend ran ABS around 185-190C and PLA around 165C.
