Hey folks. Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but here goes...

I recently completed my first 3D printer build, the max V2. I have done a couple mods to it, the most recent being a shower curtain enclosure. While it's not as perfect as a poly enclosure (and doesn't look nearly as slick), it eases my mind that breezes and air flow will now be somewhat more controlled.

My question is if/how this new enclosure should effect my temp settings. A quick measurement (I'll do a proper measurement soon) of inside the curtain showed a rise in temp from room (70f) to about 95f. Should I be lowering either the bed or hot end temp? I have been running ABS only, and have been testing with hot end temps between 225-235c with the bed at 95c. I get great adhesion using purple glue stick.

While the parts I've made since installing the curtain have been usable, I think I've noticed a bit more random blobs on areas where the head moves quickly away? Also, perimeter layers may be separating a little now. Not sure if this is related or not.

Thanks in advance.

Let it get hot! Hotter it gets, the stronger your parts will be when they come out.

The material you just laid down doesn't cool as fast as it did in the past so overhangs can sometimes get weird. You might have to slow down some, another trick is use fewer borders if you're using a lot. I like to use 3-4 but on a small part it just heats up so much it likes to curl. You might have to slow down in some situations but overall you can probably print faster than before. I haven't completely addressed this issue.

Thanks for the tips. I don't think I'm moving that fast to begin with, but I'll check all settings and test a few different types of parts. I will also see what my borders are set at.

I'm wondering about "acceleration" and the effect that may have on these corners and where the head moves from one spot to the next. Wondering if that may be a contributing factor as well.

Appreciate the help.
