Preheat enclosure profile for ABS/ASA #1000

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Current profiles produce less strong, more asthetic parts. for strength it helps to preheat the enclosure and turn down heating.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a "ABS Strength" profile that:

Describe alternatives you've considered doing the above, manually, before starting the print

If adding a profile is not an option, maybe can you provide the GCode here for manual profile creation?

Describe the solution you'd like Add a "ABS Strength" profile that:

  • reduces fan speed to ~30-40% max adds the following filament start gcode (I do not know the proper gcodes, otherwise I'd create that profile myself:
  • move bed up fully
  • set bed to 100c
  • set aux part cooling fan (the one on the side) to 100%
  • let run for 10mins or ~45-50°c, enclosure heats up because of the "convection oven" style heating using the fan and heat bed

If adding a profile is not an option, maybe can you provide the GCode here for manual profile creation? We do have a Strength Setting in Process content which has more wall loops and higher infill density that can make most of the prints stronger than Standard Setting. Besides, we have a wiki to teach some users how to print engineering filaments, and you can visit it for more details: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/knowledge-sharing/pa-cf-printing-tips. Your advise on preheating the printer and reducing fan speed is useful, and we have tested the close settings before, and founded out that reduced the printing speeds were needed to ensure enough cooling when the fan speed was lower. Anyway, thanks for your advise. We have been working on promoting our wikis recently, and we are glad to hear advise from users. So, if you have other advise, please contact us.
