Topic: Newbie: prints curling off bed
Hello all!
New Solidoodle user here, I got my printer yesterday and have made several aborted attempts at printing. I started with a keychain from Thingiverse and have also tried a keychain I modeled myself in Sketchup.
I had initial problems with the ABS not adhering to the bed. I came here and did some reading and am now trying a plate of glass with hairspray.
In all cases, the corners of my model started curling up from the bed, which led to a crash with the extruder, which pulled the part off the bed, which led to me hitting the abort button.
I've been printing with my bed temp at 90 degrees, both on the Kapton and on the glass.
What can I do to solve this problem? (Might it be related to the slicer putting the rows too far apart? I'm about to start another thread on that topic.)
