Topic: Warp issue, Curve issue. Quick questions .......

Ok I think I know the answer to this already but though I would ask just to make sure.  I tried to print a 4x scale lego head just to start testing the waters and it warped a little.  I'm pretty sure that I need to (and am going to sometime soon)  build an enclosure for the SD3 to heat the air while printing so it cools slower, but I just wanted to make sure that this isn't a setting somewhere and I'm not mistaken.  # 1 is from the top and the warp is pretty uniform down the entire print, thats why I was thinking it might not just be warping. 
     Second question is the build up on #3,  the bottom is horrible, do I need to design a support along the entire bottom curve or is there another way?  # 2 is just a side view.
     Thank you for any help you can provide, I'm going back to scouring the forums!

Re: Warp issue, Curve issue. Quick questions .......

It looks like you need to calibrate your belts so that circles are more precise.  I do not think that this is a warping issue.

The underside is either in need of support or a cooling fan.
