new to OO and was wondering what other kind of design principle
violations does an Abstract Factory prevent other than OCP ?

Duplication. Without the factory, then there are lots of 'new' statements
scattered around, and sometimes there are more 'if' statements that detect
a type code. The factory converts type codes to real types, in one place,
and this lets client code use the types without so many 'if' statements.
