Tectonic 3D ABS print temperature and settings
The settings Tectonic 3D publishes for its ABS: 230–260 °C at the nozzle and 90–110 °C on the bed. Start in the middle of the range, then adjust for your printer, speed and cooling.
Tectonic 3D's recommended nozzle range is about 8°C cooler than the typical ABS across the 28 ABS lines we track (median 248–258°C).
