I ran into an issue printing C2a. For some reason one side of the print kept warping. I rotated and moved it to different locations on the print bed and it still keep occurring. Then it would dislodge from the build plate and make a mess. Good thing I was watching it.
I did try Build Adhesion of Brim but that didn't help. I finally saw a video by CHEP about the Cura antiwarping plug-in. I installed the plug-in and releveled the bed again this morning. I'm only 46% through the build and fingers crossed it will stick. However, I'm getting pessimistic about it as i can see it lifting off the bed.
Ok, I understand thanks and what do you do for temperature? I actually went out and bought a PEI magnetic build plate for my CR-10 v3 to see if I can cure the warps while I wait for the tent to cover up the printer. Quite annoying to get to the printer in the morning and everything has warped.
Hi Karl, thanks for the tip. Is it the medium hold stuff? You obviously put sticky side up, but how do you attach it to the build plate?
Hello All,
I can confirm I used to have these problems too on my large multiday prints. Then I found FROG tape from amazon, and the prints have never failed or warped. I used it on all my large prints, but not for smaller ones. Now it is easier to leave it on and use it for all prints.
Steve, so there you go. The Ikea one looks good but we don't have access to them in South Africa yet. I'm going to go with the Creality one or if they don't get stock soon, I'll get something similar from Amazon. The way I see it, if you build the motorized one there are ABS parts so you can kill 2 birds with one stone. I'm sure it will improve the quality of the parts if you have a huge shift in temperatures. Thanks for the input.
I have had the same problem with the big parts. I think what happens is the temperature change overnight as in my case. It all went well during the day while the temperature was constant. During the night with temperature change it warped. I'm going to try a tent for my printer as soon as the supplier gets stock. I've also read somewhere that the tent will help with ABS printing of parts.
Karl uses a green tape, I use Loreal Extra Hold hairspray. Works a trick, had the same issue and location before. Admittadly, I do have a BLTouch but this would occur prior to using hairspray. Don't need a lot, just a enough to coat the plate whilst the bed is at its warmest prior to printing.
I got about 60% completed and then the build dislodged from the build plate. It seems the extruder puts too much pressure on the back part which leaks to the front lifting up. I rotated the build so it lays flat to see if I can fix it.
Any one have suggestions to make the front part grip better?
