So i placed my bed and started to level things out my x y z are square to the bed but i think i may have it on a uneven surface, i have been messing around getting my radius correct as i started with standard and was getting a bowl shape and think ive reduced that, as now i have more of a slant, as i put a spirit level and seems unlevel. So i shimmed it to the level the alu plate and you couldby chris33 - Delta Machines

you shouldn't really keep you bed at 70 degrees with printing pla, and have change to lower few layers up, as the bottom layers will swell you end up with elephant foot issues, i used to print 70 throughout print and wondered why i was get dis-coloured first three to four layers and a wider foot print when i was printing test cubes and it was down to bed temperatures so i start at 70 and then 50by chris33 - Printing

QuoteFilafarm QuoteTreito For PLA it works quite good, but I still have trouble with little warping with PLA. For ABS it works with the above settings and nearly no warping. You need high temperatures especially for the first layer. It is based on FR4, but the sticking is much better. PrintBite is robust but very sensitive regarding the cleaner you use.
