Lately I've noticed that the left side of the heated bed seems to be allowing the
parts to be raising from the bed. I tried a second print after moving the parts
to the right as far as I could get them and they seem to be holding to the bed
much better. I'm using ABS for the first time with a Nozzle temperature of 232
and a Bed temperature of 90. I'm using Elmer's purple glue stick on the bed
which seems to be working well for those areas that are not coming off of the
bed. I thought I might try using hair spray next time.
Has anyone else had a problem with the Orion Delta bed?
Thanks,

Re: Orion heated bed...
Mine seemed to always curl with ABS off to one side.
My suggestions are to...
-Print your ABS at a bed temp of 85 and a nozzle temp of 225.
-Reset your Z height to a lower height at 0.1 increments, testing your prints each time for curling. No more, no less. It smooshes that first layer into the glass a little bit more and can help prevent curing.
-Make sure you apply the glue while the bed is cool, not after you've heated it up.
-Try to keep the printing away from a breeze or fan. The curling is caused by a difference in temperature between the layers already printed cooling down rapidly underneath the layers that are printing fresh and hot. If you can prevent that a little bit, it may help the curling issue.
Hope some of these options help!

Re: Orion heated bed...
I think I finally found out my problem. I believe that the fans from the computer
used for 3D Printing were causing a draft near that side of the bed causing a
cooling area unlike the right side of the bed. The plots so far are do not seem to
be as problematic.

Re: Orion heated bed...
If 80 or 85 C work on the bed for you. We normally recommend 100C.

Re: Orion heated bed...
That would probably do it. The temperature seems to easily affected. Case in point, spray a little hairspray on it while it's hot and see how much it drops.Norm77 wrote:I think I finally found out my problem. I believe that the fans from the computer
