ABS help

I have some ABS I bought years ago when I knew nothing for a printer that could only do PLA...Now that there is Mk3 laying around I'm using it and the old stuff actually works well. My issue is with the new ABS-T I bought from Prusa, it doesn't work well.

1) It won't always stick to the built platform
2) It ends up not making a spaghetti mess often
3) It seems to sometimes have burns/melted areas
4) So far if ABS-T is going to mess up it usually is in the first CM or so of the print.

So... old non-transparent ABS works, new transparent ABS does not. See examples of the Vase printed in ABS. Minus the bottom on one side it was pretty good.

I tried printing dice where it worked great for a bit, except the bottom cm looked very poorly printed, then all of the sudden it started to spaghetti.

Apparently my attachments didn't make it. Let's try them again.
