Dead Zone Compensation Dead zone compensation addresses areas on a 3D printer's build plate that may not heat evenly or receive consistent extrusion. These zones, often near the edges of the bed, can lead to adhesion issues or warping. Compensation techniques include adjusting print placement, increasing bed temperature, or using adhesive aids like glue sticks or tape. Advanced slicers may allow users to designate dead zones and adjust settings automatically for improved results. Identifying and compensating for dead zones ensures reliable prints and full utilization of the printer's build area. |
