Printing ABS With MK3

Hello Everyone !

I'm trying to print in abs with my mk3 for cosplay and replacement parts for my mk3 ( i got the first version ! ) !

But i can't get a clean print with abs :/

The Abs keeps getting up ! I even tried building a cheap enclosure, that i will upgrade to the clean prusa version once i print the parts, the temperature was 40°C in it last time i used it ( My thermometer is at the top of the lack table ).

But in or out it's the same thing :/ I tried to reduce ABS temp to 230 and same thing... I'm printing with prusa ABS on prusa basics Settings, the extruder is calibrated, at least for the length of filament it takes ( I don't have what's needed to measure wall thickness...)

Even after all this I still can't get a benchy or a damn box to print without the abs spiking upwards and messing everything :/

I don't know what to do now...

If anyone have an idea i'm interested ^^'

Thanks in advance everyone !

I realise I wasn't clear enough.
the prints sticks to bed so much I can't take them off easily.
What's getting up is the corner away from the bed :

Re: Printing ABS With MK3

Are you running the cooling fan at all? That could cause the layers to cool/contract and lift.

Just a thought.

On the prusa original profil, the fan is turned off.
