Like others have mentioned here, ABS can be hard to print, because of warp and it needing the environment controlled. I started with PLA for a good 6 months (I did try some ABS at first and it warped a lot), then went to PETG, which doesn’t have the warping or environment issues of ABS. PETG has good high temp properties of ABS, and the parts will last longer than PLA. I originally printed all my printer upgrade parts (fan holders, cable chain, filament guides) in PLA. Now I have recently printed most of these parts in ABS, which has gone much easier for me than when I first tried ABS. I think there is something to be said about learning your printer and the software while printing with a easier material like PLA first.
I generally print ABS at 230 and start the bed at 110 then down to 100 after some layers. Not sure if the bed temp change is helping but I read it somewhere. Doesn’t seem to hurt.
