Use Kapton or PVA glue, and add a brim or raft on big footprints An enclosed printer helps adhesion and keeps fumes down. Print in a ventilated space Big parts can still warp if the room drafts or the bed cools mid-print. Slow the first layers and shut off strong part cooling ABS smells stronger than PLA while printing. That is normal for this material family Good For Functional brackets, housings, and shop fixtures Parts that need more heat hold than PLA Pieces you plan to sand, paint, or acetone-smooth Everyday end-use prints on enclosed FDM machines
