Problems with large flat print

a picture tells a thousand words

IMG_1158.JPG

Does anyone have a good solution to this problem? That the print shrinks slightly which causes the ends of the print to lift up quite significant which interferes with the quality of the print negatively. Gonna try some different settings but in general I think the heat bed has to have a higher temperature.

Any input or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks /Max

Platform is not correctly leveled. Try the soutions thruster points on the link. And check by hand. Automatic calibration is not trustable if it fails and you repeat it sometimes it just go ok and report good values. So check by hand, do not use a card to check distance use a gauge for spark plugs at 0.127 mm clearance I have printed similar things with no issues at all.

There seems to be levelling problem i guess. But was the model designed graphically with correction? I mean i like to design the various steps of the model and also make changes while it is in the process to make a better design. i like to keep a PDF of all the changes i m making. FolderMill (http://foldermill.com) automates the PDF printing  for me while i can focus on the design.

Please can we stop calling this "Auto Calibration" already!

At best it is "Assisted Manual Leveling"

I work in an industry where the term "Auto" means "without operator assistance or intervention" and until a manufacturer places servo actuators to "auto" adjust the build plate tilt based on its own measurements there is no such system on these low cost systems!

Or at least adds z travel to the x and y to compensate for the tilted bed. I have seen printers use this method with good success (Overlord).

not really thousands, but some...

I would relevel the bed with the screws not tightened as much as yours. I know that the "Assisted Manual Leveling"  (can I get it even more bold ?  :ph34r: ) process tells "tighten the screws" but if you have them completely tight it's not good to my experience.

Look at the pics from anthila, his platform distance bolts are even with the perf board, yours are much higher and look not equal high (but this could be from the pic).

On my printer one of the platform distance bolts gets loose after some time, better check them too.

As always in those cases, we suggest the calibration (leveling) of the platform: http://support.zortrax.com/warping-syndrome-solution/
