Gaps In My Box Walls

I'm new to #D Printing so I need to some help. I have a FlashForge Creator Pro. I printed out a large box but as the walls were being printed they separated about every two inches at the corners. Is it because of a heat or cooling problem. What can I do to fix this. I'm using Simplify3 software. I have included some pictures. Thank you, Allen

I can see some warping on the lid of your box and I suspect that is the main cause. Do you have an enclosure for your printer to keep everything nice and warm?

Is this ABS or PLA? Do you have a heated bed? What settings are you using?

Looks like the bottom corners warped too - I agree with above, would be helpful to know what settings you used to print this.

Re: Gaps In My Box Walls

that would be typical for any med to large boxy print done in abs. too much internal stress. there isnt a whole lot your going to do about it. its abs and the nature of the beast. print the same file in petg and you wont have those issues.
