Comment on Anyone wanna help me do an autopsy?

Do you happen to know what your chamber temperature was? Ideally, you want to be at 60C to minimize stress cracks like that. ABS shrinks as it cools and will rip itself apart depending on the geometry of the part. My large printer needed a fan blowing on the bed to get reliable ABS prints. Well worth it though because ABS is a joy to post-process.
For bed adhesion, I use a small amount of Nano Polymer Adhesive on textured PEI for my ABS prints.

No I don’t, I bought a bunch of thermistors that I could use to measure the chamber temp at different heights but I have yet to research how to install that into my board

I don’t have a guide or anything but it should be quite easy to use something like an ESP8266 or ESP32 to measure the temps (maybe check out ESPHome) which can then be displayed on a small TFT screen or via wifi

Do you know if that can be monitored through octoprint by chance?

Yes, octoprint has support fornchsmber temperature sensors. But the Question is, does you printer and firmware support it?
(Klipper might be a great upgrade for another day)

I don’t know. I just have a lot of experience with ESP devices outside of the 3D printing sphere and know they’re very handy/useful for stuff like this.
