Proper bed temp settings to prevent warping

Hello,
the left-rear corner of by print object is always warping (bending upwards), so I was thinking about raising the bed temperature by 5°C.
I'm using Prusa ABS. Which one of the three following settings would you choose?

  • First layer: 105°C - Other layers: 100°C

  • First layer: 100°C - Other layers: 105°C

  • First layer: 105°C - Other layers: 105°C
  • Best regards

    For my project I raising temperature like yout 1 choice.
    But also:
    Made cover for printer.
    Use brim.
    "play" with correct Z distance.
    In case of nothing work ABS juice will.

    And I don't know if sebastian uses an enclosure, but this is something that is advised for printing ABS to avoid warping.

    120ºc/115ºc will prevent any warping with Prusa ABS
    I use this all the time, 100% success rate

    Yeah but 120°C is the limit (of PEI) and print "on the edge" all the time is not good, especially if you dont have to. I has been raising temperature only for one 25cm to 4cm knife print so far. All other projects inculing 18cm diametter circle dont need this hard core solution.

    Well i hope PEI sheets would be avaliable first before i damage my unit 😀
    You can go 115/110ºc, works to me.
    I print 160x160x60 objects with prusaABS, no enclosure but i put a plastic bag to cover the printer

    You can also put a layer of glue or abs juice and print at 100ºc

    Hello guys,
    thanks for the replies.

    Yes.

    I assume you mean "First layer 120°C and other layers 115°C".

    Best regards.
