I do have a the walls covered using clear plastic film held up with magnets, but I didn't have the top covered, which is probably where most of the heat is escaping. I had my bed temp at 95C and extruder at 195C but I guess it's colder now so that might have something to do with it.

An enclosure helps .

Had the same problems till I enclosed mine.   Also before you start your print, allow the bed and chamber to heat soak a while. I give my about 10mins after the bed get to temp.

As the ABS Cools as it shrinks and causes warping and layers to tear apart.  Keeping the temp stable will help even out the shrinkage.  You can also increase your extruder temp to improve the bond between layers.  Experiment with different infill rates.

SD2
Kapton over aluminum
Hairspray to help with the bond
Octave Red filament 1.75mm

I've been having issues printing parts that are taller than .50". The layers above seem to start splitting after being printed. Not sure what the issue is. The part initial sticks to the bed, but as the print continues the edges seems to lift up.

Is it possible the chemicals from the hairspray cause the splitting or the color of the filament?
In the past, I was able to print taller parts using beige and I didn't use hairspray. I didn't need hairspray b/c the area wasn't as large.

I attached some pictures of the print.
