  • How has this gone?  I've had problems over winter in my garage caused I think by ambient air temps and also the damp air affecting my bed coating.  I'm using heated glass bed with a PVA glue and water mix. Material is colourfabb XT.

     

    When it was really cold even PLA would curl.

     

    I realised my heated bed was flexing away from the glass, so I turned it over so it meant I had an even hot surface but still had some issues.

     

    I've found I need brim, make sure my first layer is good and change the bed coating more regularly seems to have does the trick, oh and I also invested in a de-humidifier for the garage.

    I keep meaning to try the hairspray (Any UK recommendations).  I also wondered about the spray on photo mount glue you can buy in hobby stores, and I have read about using sugar and water.

     

    Now spring is here I might get to drop the brim off and see if it still sticks.  I guess the real fix would be an enclosed printer.
