Hello collective. I have a CubePro with a new nozzle and firmware at the office and we’re having issues with our ABS prints (see pics of test prints) I suspect it the slicer software that came with the printer. Models are made in Autodesk Inventor and exported as STL. Colleague thinks it may be the ABS itself and wants to switch to PLA.
Any ideas?
Edit: oops pic of chair wasn’t supposed to be there. 
From my experience, printing in PLA is substantially more forgiving in terms of print variables.
It looks like you have pretty decent quality but need to add supports to your overhangs. The material doesn’t stick to air after all.
We had supports… Maybe not enough?
I would definitely try to play with supports and in the case of the first part maybe orientation. What are your temp settings while we are at it?
Support offset may have been too high. What layer height and Z clearance for supports?
I’ll get back to you with that on Tuesday when I’m back at the office
Sorry about the delay - crazy week at the office:
Temp: 180
Layer Height: 200 microns
Z Clearance: No clue, software doesn’t tell us
Note that part was printed laying flat as on the 4th picture. I had to ship the sample so I can’t retake the picture.
That is a top surface then? If that is the case I suggest playing with the extrusion multiplier.
Yes it is the top surface - it perplexed us as we printed similar pieces without issue before.
