Topic: Edges bowing inwards

I am using Black Hatchbox ABS @ 215 and bed 90 degrees. The top of the print is perfectly flat and the bottom is not warping up. What should I do to stop this? I did try lowering my printing speed and it produced the same results. As well as increasing temp, which had the same results, until it became stringy @ 230+.

Re: Edges bowing inwards

I had the same problem.  I had to look twice to make sure this wasnt my post a few weeks back.
I have the same black hatchbox (although does same for other colours too).
lower the bed temp to 65-70C and you're golden.

Re: Edges bowing inwards

Too much radiated heat. Either lower your temps, or print several objects simultaneously or use a layer cooling fan (can bring other issues with ABS).
