When printing ABS you need to use high bed temperature, but it needs very long time to reach 90-100 °C. One simple mod is to insulate termically the bottom part, to avoid heat to disperse.Time to heat will not be cutted in half but will be reduced, also the hotbed temperature will be more steady during printing.After all this is a cheap and easy mod so.. why not? :D You will need: a thermal insulation sheet, the one used for home radiators. You can find it at the hardware store for about 5 eur, the sheet is about 70x100 cm and you need a square of about 22x22 cm;some kapton tapeglue (every type should work)tools (scissors and cutter) Check out all my Anet A8 projects: Anet A8 Prusa i3 Simple filament guide (Horizontal) https://www.myminifactory.com/object/28415Rpi camera bed mount for Anet A8 https://www.myminifactory.com/object/28416Anet A8 Y Axis Cable Chain v2 https://www.myminifactory.com/object/28417Anet A8 hotbed thermal insulation https://www.myminifactory.com/object/28418Anet A8 Power supply cover w\LCD power meter https://www.myminifactory.com/object/28419
