Abs Splitting Flashforge Inventor

  • Materials, Multicolor & Versatility-1 pts

    I've had my Inventor for a little over a month and haven't had many issues printing with PLA, but as soon as I switched to ABS (we got 2kg of ABS for free with the printer) the pieces started splitting about halfway through. I've tried slowing the print speed, any other suggestions besides "use PLA"?
