Issue with prints - the corners are curling

Bambu Lab P Series Troubleshooting
1

Hi all,

I’m currently printing some body armor pieces and have noticed that the corners are curling up slightly.

I’ve already done bed leveling and calibrations, and I’ve also enabled brim supports, which has helped a bit—as seen in the silver print—but I’m still seeing some corner lift, though not as severe.

Could this be an issue with the filament, bed temperature, or bed adhesion?

Appreciate any suggestions!

PS:
I am using P1P with 0.2mm nozzle at silent settings and highest quality.
I also increased the infill to 12% from 8% in the silver print. Brim and infill density are the inly factors I’ve changed.

The first things to do when encountering warping or curling is to ensure the filament is dry (especially new filament can be quite wet and may need drying) and the build plate clean (water, dishwashing liquid, clean brush).

Once that is ensured you can still get issues and address them in the manner you did (low layer height, slow printing) so I’d guess it is more of a flimant matter.
Also, try to keep the chamber at around 35°. With a P1, you may need to put a cheap thermometer in the chamber. Holders are aplenty on MakerWorld.

The default BRIM distance from brim to object is .1mm. You see that gap? How do they think the brim is going to work with a gap? It’s pretty useless. Change it to 0 and the brim will hold much better.

Thanks for this. Will try changing it.

Yeah checking all of these.
I have an AMS unit and changed all of the desiccant packs, will keep it for a while and start print in 6-8 hours

You’ll need to apply heat. Dessiccant alone does not dry filament.

What filament are you using? stuff like ABS, ASA has tendency to warp. Clean the build plate, consider using glue stick or hairspray.

I’ve been using Basic PLA.

Thanks for the input everyone.
Did all of the steps and the curling problem is not there.
I guess I used the printer directly after 2 weeks without doing all of the cleaning and drying stuff, causing the prints to curl. Thanks @EnoTheThracian for reminding me of these.
Should have been more careful.
Thanks for the awesome tip @olendorf the part was now more glued to the brim, which indeed helped.
