ABS can be trickier to print with than PLA, as it's more demanding on the printer, the environment and printing skills. Here is a short video tutorial of how to print ABS nicely with Snapmaker. Have a quick look below:

**The basics:**

- Printing temperature: 210℃-250℃
- Heated Bed temperature: 80℃-110℃
- Brim or Raft required
- Good ventilation required

**How to avoid warping or cracking:**

- Level the bed
- Use an enclosure
- Fine-tune the temperature and speed
- Use 3D printing glue or blue tape
- Change the G-code to turn off the cooling fan

**How to print ABS overhang or bridge:**

- Lower the print speed & the layer height
- Use support
- Use PLA instead if durability and heat resistance are not critical.
