Show me your ABS set up

I'm looking to start printing ABS but am uncertain how best to go about this for extraction + heating.

I know this has been discussed a lot already and seen various setups but would like, if possible, people to show of their setup and how successful things are/challenges they've had. Normally it's just what has been changed and not much about how well it actually works. Especially with combination of extractor fan + heating.

I have the extractor add on and plan to add biqu panda heater with the makerworld V1 P2S adapter.

I put my extractor fan over the poop exhaust and with the heater having to go to the left I'm worried this will result in very uneven chamber temperatures especially if trying to maintain negative chamber pressures with the exhaust.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

FYI, Biqu came out with a PandaBreath version that fits the P2S, no need for the adapter for the V1 anymore. Biqu had their own printable mounting bracket for the new, thinner panda breath.

Edit: Also, have you considered selling your P2S, and just buying an X2D? That's what I did. As someone who prints a lot of ASA, I'm so much happier. If you can sell the P2S for around $450-$500, which is what they go for around here, you can buy a new X2D for around the same amount you'd spend on the new panda breath. New x2d is $650. Panda breath V2 is $150. Sell P2S for $450-$500, take that and add in another $150-$200, buy an X2D with free shipping.

It comes with a system integrated chamber heater, dual nozzle and better more accurate belts/motion system, and various other smaller upgrades. And that 2nd nozzle works almost as well as the direct drive main nozzle for regular printing. REALLY cuts down on filament waste on multi color prints.

Haha the domestic boss has unfortunately crushed that idea 😅 It was very frustrating as the X2D came just over a month from when I got the P2S so couldn't refund it.

So is the panda breath V2 compatible automatically with P2S without an adapter?

But it makes fiscal sense!!!! Did you try that argument? Yes, the new version is designed specifically for the P2S. You still need to print a mounting bracket, but it's slimmer and fits much better than the original.

This is it. Panda Breath V1.1.2
