My dark grey polylite ABS really does not want to stay flat, even in a 30-35C enclosure. Suggestions? Should I preheat the enclosure? Any input welcomed. This color of filament has been giving me all kinds of problems that I didn't have with white.

Don't start the print until your chamber reached temperature. That should give you better results

I can't really do that

why don't you add a pause command in your gcode after the bed probe? Then, you can start it up after like half an hour or so.

Maybe

yea or you can just pause your print manually right after the bed level, no need for gcode fuss

If you're on klipper you can have it run a mesh at a lower temp and then wait

maybe I'll do that

I have come up with an electronic solution which will be implemented next time I upgrade the chamber

what size part are you trying to print?

Pretty much any size part had the same slight amount of warping

What is your printer, bed temperature and nozzle temperature?
30C enclosure is very cold for ABS. 40-50C is ideal for an enclosure. 80-90C is the best, but then we are discussing a heated chamber

I’ve got a custom build. I’m using 100C bed and 250C nozzle. G10 with glue. The ABS doesn’t stick well without glue.
The enclosure is I think more around 40C, it’s at least getting hot enough to make some motors misbehave occasionally
