Edge Curling Edge curling is a common printing defect where the edges of a print lift or curl upward from the build platform, resulting in warping or poor adhesion. This issue is often caused by uneven cooling or insufficient bed adhesion. Materials like ABS and nylon are particularly prone to edge curling due to their sensitivity to temperature changes. To prevent curling, users can implement strategies such as using a heated bed, applying adhesives (e.g., glue stick or hairspray), and ensuring proper bed leveling. Enclosures can also help by maintaining consistent ambient temperatures. Addressing edge curling is critical for achieving dimensionally accurate and aesthetically pleasing prints. |
