This profile is designed for printing large ABS parts on the Anycubic Kobra 2 Max using curaSlicer, specifically when equipped with an aftermarket enclosure. It is ideal for makers and engineers who need reliable, high-quality results for wide-footprint panels and large fixtures. The settings focus on minimizing warping and ensuring strong, consistent prints, making it suitable for demanding applications where both strength and dimensional accuracy are critical.
ABS is known for its tendency to warp, especially on large prints. This profile addresses that by requiring a full enclosure and using a high bed temperature to maintain a stable environment. Slow outer perimeter speeds further reduce the risk of warping and improve surface finish. The combination of these settings ensures that even large parts adhere well and maintain their intended shape throughout the print.
Enclosure Requirement: Printing large ABS parts without an enclosure leads to rapid cooling and warping. This profile is tuned for use with a full enclosure, which is mandatory for success.
Bed Temperature: The bed is set to 110 °C, which is essential for ABS adhesion and minimizing warping on large surfaces.
Outer Perimeter Speed: Slower speeds on the outer walls (as low as 18 mm/s) help achieve a smooth finish and reduce the risk of layer separation or curling at the edges.
Wall and Top/Bottom Thickness: With three solid walls and six top/bottom layers, the profile ensures strong, durable prints that resist splitting and provide good surface quality.
Bed Adhesion: A wide brim is used to anchor large prints and prevent edge lift, especially important for wide panels.
Cooling: Cooling fans are disabled to prevent rapid temperature drops, which can cause ABS to warp or crack.
