Another installment of my material specific profile list. this video shows you how to set up a basic ABS profile, and the settings you will need to achieve great prints in cura 4.3! this profile is pretty straightforward, we go over things like draft-shields and nozzle temp, as well as a few other settings i use. if you need a good profile for ABS on the ender 3 using cura 4.3 this is it!

Welcome back, I'm Technivrus. We are going to be working in this episode on the ABS profile,
and in order to do that, we are going to go back to our bass profile.
And you also need to ensure after the last video, even after you load this, just to be positive,
that you have unchecked Spiralize Outer Contour. This is the box we were using for bass mode,
and since we're not doing basses, we need to uncheck it. Yeah, I've accidentally
left it checked before, and you always get some pretty interesting prints, but
nine times out of ten, that is not a good thing. So make sure that that's turned off,
and then we'll go ahead and go adjust our other settings. Now, I'm going to start at 0.2 again,
and I'm just going to hang out at 0.2. I'm not going to make three separate profiles for this
one because I don't use ABS very often, but I do want to leave... We'll change the infill to 20,
and we're going to raise the print temperature to 240. We'll probably lower it a bit depending
on what ABS we're using as we're printing, but this is a good starting point. You can see my
build plate temperature got jacked up too. That's why it's good to go over these settings. Build
plate temperature, we're going to do 60, 65, 70, somewhere in there. You don't want to go too high
now. You don't have to worry. Sometimes you'll hear people say if you run sustained heat on a
magnetic mat, it'll demagnetize it. Don't worry about that. I have thoroughly disproven it. I've
got videos all about it. Chuck Helovick also did a video on it on his site disproving it,
and it's pretty much a myth. So you don't need to worry about raising your bed temperature too high.
But that being said, I don't ever really need temperatures over 65 degrees, so I'm going to
leave mine at 60. I'm leaving all the retraction and print speed settings the same, and I will do
that with PETG too. I don't really worry about any of that until I get to TPU because it's so
flexible that sometimes it causes problems. The other thing you want to do for an ABS print
especially, you want to come down here into experimental, and if this check box is not
showing, type in draft, and it will show you the enable draft shield. You click that there,
and it will pop up in here. And with your ABS prints, especially on the Ender 3, because I'm
not printing in an enclosure, I want the draft shield. And what a draft shield is, is a lot like
tree support, except it just builds vertically. So it'll build a perimeter wall around your print,
keeping it from getting struck by the side from drafts. Now, temperature variance in a room is
one of the biggest problems with ABS prints. If you are printing something large, and your bed's at
say 70 degrees Celsius, and your hot end is at 240 degrees Celsius, the further the hot end gets
from the bed, the cooler the middle of the model becomes, because it's far from those heat points.
So that variance, a little slight breeze blowing across there, can cause cracks, distortion,
warpage, layer separation, things like that. And we don't want that with our ABS, so we're going to
mock having an enclosure and protect us from those drafts with this draft shield. So that's a very
necessary thing if you want to get good quality prints without having to put a box around your
printer. The other setting that we need to check on in here is going to be the fan.
And that's under cooling. I do have it enabled, as you can see, but I have the fan speed set to zero.
And that's fine. You can also disable it if you like. And that's going to be the last setting
we change for our ABS profile. From there, you can go to profile, manage profiles, and hit create.
And we're going to do Cura 3 ABS. You can name this whatever you want.
And this is 0.2. Like I said, you could go through and make other size and quality profiles so you
can skip around pretty easily, but I don't use ABS that often. So one profile for it is fine for me.
Go ahead and close that. And you can see everything's changed up here. We seem to be
looking good. That's going to conclude this video. Don't forget to hit the like button,
