Temperature gradient across print plate

Temperature gradient across print plate
April 08, 2015 04:42AM
Hello,

I have a question regarding the effects of temperature gradient across the print surface. I want to print ABS, however, would it print well if there was a temperature difference of 4 deg-C from end of the print surface to the other, for example?

Thank you

ABS sticks good from 90 degrees and up. If you set your bed at 110 and in the corners is at 100, it will print without problems.

The main issue with ABS is the upper layers. Keep temperatures around 80 degrees to have a successful print, do this by either enclosing your printer, put a heater blowing slowly hot air or a heat lamp (200 watts incandescent bulbs or more expensive terrarium lamps)
