Hello all,
I have never seen this before. My calibration cubes were curled up on their top left corner. These were not from bed adhesion, but from a shortened corner movement.
I was curious what was happening so I printed a Z tower to see what happens along the Z axis. That printed strange also.
Printed in ABS with MatterControl at 228 degrees with a bed of 100 degrees.
Any ideas what might cause this?

Re: Strange prints
Looks like your parts need more cooling. Increase your part cooling fan percentage.
There's some elephants foot happening here as well, lower your bed temperature by 5 degrees.

Re: Strange prints
I should have mentioned, this is ABS at 228 with a 100 degree bed.
Re: Strange prints
Perhaps try increasing your ABS temperature as well. I print ABS at 255 / 240 most of the time for small parts.
