The max bed temperature of 80°C is below the recommended 95°C for ABS. Adhesion may be poor without additional bed adhesion aids.
| Filament Nozzle Requirement | 230-260°C |
| Printer Max Nozzle | 300°C |
| Filament Bed Requirement | 95-110°C |
| Printer Max Bed | 80°C |
What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 80°C, but ABS needs at least 95°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Bambu Lab A1 Mini — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need ABS specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 230°C+ nozzle.
