Topic: Need Slicer ABS Filliment defaults

In slic3r (SD2) under the filament setting referring to Diameter and Extrusion Multiplier for ABS. What defaults to people have? I was messing with the settings and I think I totally messed them up.

Re: Need Slicer ABS Filliment defaults

Start with a filament diameter of 1.75mm and extrusion multiplier of about 0.80 (0.80-1.00 is pretty normal)
I use an E3D hot end, so my temps are 240 first layer / 230 the rest, but for a stock hotend start around 210.
I'm not a huge believer in accurate measurement of filament diameter, but certainly do a wall thickness calibration for the extrusion multiplier.
