Please Help! Printing with ABS!

So I have had some success printing with ABS in the past but recently I keep having issues with warping and bad layer adhesion. I’ve tried adjusting the temp, slowing the print, lowering layer height, and turning off the fan. At this point I am not sure what to do. Is there a way to download a prebuilt profile and slic3r and just try whatever worked on someone else’s MK2? I do have an enclosure and I am including photos. Thanks in advance.

Personally I would blame the feline thermal displacement unit on the top of the enclosure. Maybe try higher temps and slower speeds.

Higher hot end or bed temps? Bed is currently at 100. Also is there a way in slicer to reduce the overall speed or does it have to be done manually? Thanks

Hot end temp would be my first guess. Personally both of my Prusa's like to print hotter (hotend anyway) than my other printers.

My experince with ABS is to lower speed on the first layer to 30%. Then it is really sticked to the bed.
