Topic: Over Hang Curling - New Issue

Hey guys I have recently developed an issue where when I am printing overhangs they curl on the outside edge. I haven't had this problem before this and it does it regardless of if I use support material or not. Any help on the issue would be awesome.

Re: Over Hang Curling - New Issue

if you mean they curl "up" then the cause is usually due to the filament not having enough time to cool before the next layer is applied. usually the easiest way to control this is by adding another object to the print job so that the extruder is kept busy elsewhere while the filament in your overhang is cooling before it receives the next pass.
If they are curling down, then your overhang is probably due to too aggressive an angle in your overhang.
