I think their free tier prevents you from torrenting

Gave it some time to print and unfortunately it lifted up again. Going to wait for the thermometer to come in and see if that corner is heating properly

So I gave it another try with the black filament after doing some additional adjustments and was still getting the same issues. I then swapped to a brighter filament so that I could get a better picture and now it’s laying perfectly flat. I’ll let it continue printing to see if any other issues pop up, but it’s weird that one filament was lifting but an older spool works fine.

I have a box already but never thought of trying those out. Thanks for the tip!

I’m working on it right now to try out some of the suggestions people have given me. I’m waiting on a thermometer to come in so I can make sure my printer is giving accurate temps. I’ve had similar issues with the glass as I am with the magnetic, but if I can’t get my current test to work I might try again on glass. Right now I figured out how to get mouse ears on the corners so I’m giving that a shot. I have cleaned it a few times already but maybe I used too high of a percent on the ipa so I’ll try again with a lower percent.

I’m using pla. I know my printer had something about a mesh in the settings but I don’t think I’ve used it, I should read up on it to see if it actually is set up to do that. The brim is what’s actually lifting off.

The last time I cleaned it I used 99% isopropyl alcohol, hoping to get a good clean on it with no luck. I’ll try using a lower percent next to see if that changes anything

I did level it using paper and using the crtouch. I’m not sure how I could get it any closer

I’m using pla, I didn’t think about the temps being wrong though. I usually heat it to 200C and 65C respectively. I’ll have to get an external thermometer to check that out

[–] Silfeed@fedia.io 1 points 6 days ago

I’ll see if the either of the slicers I use have that feature. If not I’ll check out orca

Yeah, that was about 5 minutes into just printing a brim.

 

https://imgur.com/a/oXQJArS I’m hoping you guys can help me figure this out. I have an ender 3 pro, running on marlin firmware. Every time I try to print something one of the corners will lift up like that and ruin the entire print. I installed a crtouch to help with leveling, installed upgraded metal bed wheels to help it not fall out of level. Even tried a glass bed with glue and it still does the same thing. I used a filament dryer and have a heat enclosure. I’m starting to run out of ideas on how to fix this. Any suggestions? The pic is how it starts and that was just a brim since I used to always use a raft and thought I should try that instead.
