Turn off the heat bed?
Posted: Sun May 17, 2015 9:25 pm
Hello,
I'm using a Buildtak printing surface on my V2 and I've noticed that after a print has finished and the bed comes down to room temp, the prints are almost impossible to remove from the bed. If I heat the bed back up, I can remove them pretty easily. Now, I've been having issues with ABS parts that have a lot of surface area curling up in the corners, which is very frustrating. My thoughts are if I could print the first few layers with the bed heat on and then have it turn off, that I would get a stronger first layer bond, hopefully eliminating my warping issue. I'm using Matterslice, is there a way to do this? I guess I could just go in and manually edit the gcode?
Or another thought I had was to print on the Buildtak with no heat. Not sure if it will stick though.
Just something I've been kicking around. Any thoughts?
