Which build plate should I use?

CR-ABS sets a bed temperature for each plate:

  • Textured PEI plate: 60 °C
  • Smooth PEI plate: 105 °C
  • Cool plate: 105 °C
  • Engineering plate: 105 °C

Why does my ABS warp?

Bambu Lab says ABS needs a hot bed and a warm chamber to stop warping, and recommends an enclosed printer (Bambu Lab wiki). CR-ABS heats the bed to 105 °C; on an open printer, turn on the draft shield, a wall that keeps the part warmer (Prusa Knowledge Base).

Are ABS fumes harmful?

ABS gives off fumes that can be a health risk, so print it in a well-ventilated room (Prusa Knowledge Base). Keep the airflow off the print itself, since a draft makes it warp (Prusa Knowledge Base).

Where do these values come from?

From the profiles Creality Print ships, read at CrealityPrint v7.3.1 (254250c). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
