MK3 printed parts in ABS
What settings are recommended for printing the MK3 parts in ABS?
Wanting to do a full rebuild of the printer in a new color and didn't know if others have attempted it in ABS as well.

MK3 parts are made to print in PETG, if you print into ABS you can have tolerance problems and part may shrink a bit, this can cause misalignments.
Best bet to print them with ABS is have an enclosure with stable ambient air.
Settings will depend on filament you have and the part itself.
But as geral use stock settings from Slic3r are good to go, 0.2mm layer with 20% infill or more, 3 perimeters for extra secure part

In addition: don't put to much plastic on it. More weight on the head, means slower printing speed (for same quality).

Should you print the MK3 parts with or without supports? I'm running a full bed of parts now and I can foresee it will take time to remove the support. How would PRUSA with all those prints take time with removing supports if they did print with support? I would think dissoluble supports, but all those prints in the print farm I don't think so.
Online Chat says that they are meant to be printed without supports. I keep forgetting to turn that on and off on Slic3r.
