I need to make the brim a little smaller and turn my bed temp down a little bit, but it looks good.

I also need to watch the stackup of over extrusion to insure I am not making a knot to catch the extruder nozzle.

What do you mean?

If you're printing in ABS (which most of the advice above is for), "melting" the *bottom* should not be possible.  In this case, I assume you're referring to print warping (which is caused by uneven cooling => shrinking, not heating/melting), and advice should help.

If PLA, your bed temp is way too high -- reduce to about 50-60 (you want it below the glass transition temp) -- and also try without hairspray. Also, what is your extrusion temp...

ABS slurry is when you make a mixture of ABS filament (or just ABS of any form) and mix it with acetone so it dissolves into a slurry. You apply the slurry to the print bed just like hair spray.

Umm, what is Brim? Ahh, I see it...that is what I was think off, but I had no idea what it was called. Thanks, I'll give that a try!

To answer your questions: Yes, I have an enclosure. The room temperature is about 74 degrees. No doors are opened during printing. There are no space heater next to the printer. What is an ABS slurry?

I had the same problem you did. Each improvement I made fixed the issue more and more. Here is a list of things to do in order to stop that from happening.

  • Enclosure
    Space heater next to the printer
    Kept in a room with the doors closed so there are no sudden breezes
    ABS slurry
    Print wit a raft
    Leveled bed with calibrated z-tab

All I can think of right now.

I have a Solidoodle 2 and I have been having printing tall projects. The projects come loose from the bed and the print is ruined. I had used hairspray and I keep the  bed between 95-102 degrees. Sometime the print goes trough, but then the bottom begins to melt. Does any have any ideas? Thanks 3D commun!
