Hey guys, I'm so close to printing decent terrain.. what would I do to have this warping stop...I've done 1 print and it was all straight and level but these examples below are not and it's driving me CRAZY lol. I'm using Esun pla + . I've changed my settings 29282626262582 times from the heat to the bed.. the best setting I've found was 220 nozzel and 60 for the bed. Not sure if lowering my bed temp even more would help (not sure if it's a good idea as 60 is the lowest recommended heat and I assume it won't stick or will have trouble) any help would be appreciated..

Warping is a common issue in 3D printing, especially with larger prints. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to reduce warping:

  1. Ensure proper bed leveling: Make sure your printer's bed is properly leveled. If it's not, the first layer may not adhere evenly, leading to warping.

  2. Clean the printing surface: Use isopropyl alcohol or a similar cleaning agent to wipe the build surface before each print. This will remove any oil or debris that may affect bed adhesion.

  3. Use a heated bed: You mentioned that you're already using a heated bed, which is good. If warping persists, you can try increasing the bed temperature slightly. However, be cautious as exceeding the recommended maximum temperature for your specific filament may cause other issues.

  4. Apply adhesive or use a print surface with texture: To improve the adhesion between the print and the bed, you can use adhesive solutions like glue sticks, hairspray, or specialized bed adhesives. Additionally, using a pr...

Someone told me to remove the brims but maybe a brim would help this?

Have you tried mouse ear brims? Also is that a smooth printing surface? Have you tried glue or another adhesion enhancer?

#

Also these are 90°overhangs, so these artifacts are no surprise.

I haven't but I'm almost done a print, then I had planned on trying with brims, I just assumed there was a setting or "perfect" configuration where I didn't need to use a brim. Also its a textured surface and no glue or anything.

Okay textured should work without anything in theory.
The mouse ear brims are supposed to keep the corners down,l as sharp corners temd to lift first due to contraction while cooling
