How to Optimize Your Printing
Based on the properties of ABS-GF, it’s strongly recommended to consider the following tips to realize best performance:
1. Enclosure
An enclosed chamber helps maintain a consistent temperature around your print, reducing warping and improving print quality.
2. Use Brim
Adding a brim can significantly reduce warping by increasing the adhesion surface area.
3. Dry Your Filament
Although drying ABS-GF is optional, it's strongly recommended to dry it to prevent poor layer adhesion and brittleness.
