ABS ?
Hi,
I hesitate about buying a MK4S
I read that the printer parts were melting when printing ABS, and I only print in ABS
any info about this ?
thanks

Not ABS but I print a lot of ASA and nothing has happened.

I know I'll try ASA too but I have tons of ABS reels here
so I am really interested in people printing ABS
RE: ABS ?
Melting happens because of reaching a certain temperature level and the required temperatures for ASA and ABS are about the same.
The MK4S comes with printable parts on the extruder/x-carriage in PCCF, not in PETG as with the MK4.
Some months ago I replaced the printable extruder/x-carriage parts on my MK4 with PCCF parts, after having printed some spools of ASA and also more than one spool of PCCF. When I compared the old PETG parts of the x-carriage with my new parts I could see that the edges had lost their definition.
If you buy a new MK4S, I guess you would not have to worry about that then.
