Wall Coming Loose From Bed

Post by inventabuild »

I'm printing ABS in a heated enclosure, but still the Wall (All Layers) is warping and coming loose. Result: A big ball of stringy ABS mixed into my print.

Is there a way to increase the number of loops of the skirt or increase the width of it's base so it's more likely to stick to the bed?

I use brim for this 5-7mm out, one layer, no fillet.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's what I defaulted to when I knew the Wall was likely to come loose if I tried it again (happened use 8mm brim). Used it w/ Prime Pillar (see pic).

For me this is a short term fix because I like to use the Wall for my parts instead of the Brim. The brim leaves a rough edge that needs to be finished off w/ a secondary operation and it prints under the support making it difficult to remove. Also, off the top of my head I think the Wall offers ooze / wipe benefits when I'm working w/ dual extrusion and I do a lot of dual extrusion parts; although I suppose if I make the Prime Pillar large enough I could get some wiping there as well...still it's not the same.

Hopefully Jonathan will offer us options to improve the Walls ability to stick to the bed.
