Hello netizens of Lemmy, while printing this single wall wing segment i ran into a problem with significant bulging around the middle. This causes the segments to not fit onto the frame or each other. If anyone has ideas on how to fix this, please share. At this point i'm pretty desperate and willing to try just about anything.
It looks like the effects of heat warping if it's all confined to the middle. First step is to allow the bed to heat up longer imo. The center might holding heat better or worse than the rest and needs longer to equalize. Is your printer enclosed? If so that should solve it. If it's not then you may have excessive airflow across the bed.
Thanks for the reply. The bed already gets way more time than it needs to heat up so that part is fine. Printing it a lot slower will probably help equalize temperature tho. I'll try that and we'll see if it works.
