ABS is Tricky - Use PETG Instead

A project log for Monoprice Select Mini Upgrades

I've created this project to make the Monoprice Select Mini 3D a descent and affordable solution. For the $200 Price Range.

I tried printing something else in ABS with less surface area and it refused to adhere to the BuildTak even at 80deg C. So keep in mid if you want to print ABS you need to give the model as much surface area on the bed as you can and keep the bottom shell thin as you can.


I'm not a huge fan of ABS anyways, so I tried PETG at 235C and 60C respectively and had no issue with the prints. I used .2mm height and 35mm/min speed.
