    When printing in abs, especially when I am printing cubes, the layers begin to disconnect. First layers prints fine, its when I am around 10-20 the layers begin to disconnect. Please help me figure out why that is.

    It worked for the most part when I changed it to 220
    Saw one layer which got disconnected a little.
    Just seems like printing with ABS the object deforms a bit especially when printing a cube or a rectangular object.
    Is PLA better with these types of shapes?
