On the USB stick included with the printer are several pre-made options for print settings. For the Axiom, use any of the ABS profiles (such as: ABS_precision_raft)

Once you open the profile, you will notice the settings in both the Basic & Advanced tabs have changed.

Double-Check Your Machine Settings
