PLA print flexes/lifts up when printing - what causes it? November 30, 2015 01:30PM |
Hello,
So, today I tried to print an overhanging element, but it always turned out this way:
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?

My prints stick to the bed correctly, the only problem is this curling plastic...
My printer uses a fan, but I think it moves too slowly. I will try to speed it up to the max and see what happens.
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.
