PLA print flexes/lifts up when printing - what causes it? Hello, So, today I tried to print an overhanging element, but it always turned out this way: f3ywO3B.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('e8b08078e042771768b7b0747bb62d85', '/forum/thumbcache/ee8/b27/42a/f95/f29/97c/917/9af/4c9/183/bc_800x400.png', 'http://i.imgur.com/f3ywO3B.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?406,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Ff3ywO3B.jpg', '', 591140, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); An edge keeps building up too much in one place, (looks like it flexes up) and eventually the nozzle hits it and ruins the print. What setting can fix it? I tried changing the teperature of the filament, changing speed, but nothing worked. Maybe you've got any ideas? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,591140,591140#msg-591140 Fri, 07 Aug 2026 21:43:34 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,591140,591162#msg-591162 Re: PLA print flexes/lifts up when printing - what causes it? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,591140,591162#msg-591162
EDIT: We decided to try with ABS. It doesn't curl, but it lifts from the bed. ;d I will get a hairspray tomorrow and give it a try.]]> Diabl0 Prusa i3 and variants Mon, 30 Nov 2015 14:37:31 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,591140,591159#msg-591159 Re: PLA print flexes/lifts up when printing - what causes it? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,591140,591159#msg-591159 gmckee Prusa i3 and variants Mon, 30 Nov 2015 14:27:39 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,591140,591140#msg-591140 PLA print flexes/lifts up when printing - what causes it? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?406,591140,591140#msg-591140
