PLA Matte warping

I’m printing thin (6mm thick), long (200+mm) and tall (120+mm) objects and my Bambulab PLA Matte is warping a fair amount at the base, which is surprising to me. Using cool plate with 0.20mm Standard settings + brim, 25% infill and support.

The first time I had printed much thinner (3mm), door closed and it was the section close to the aux fan that warped. So this time I reversed everything, left the door open and it’s the other end that warped.

Generally I have the reverse problem were PLA Matte was too sticky. It seems to be a problem specifically with this kind of object form. It warps in the interlocking zigzag I created, which is about 2mm large.

Any idea to work around this problem?

Answering my own question, I think next time I’ll:

  • Filament settings: Cooling / Auxiliary part cooling fan / Fan speed: reduce from 70% to 30%(?)
  • Filament settings: Filament / Volumetric speed limitation / Max volumetric speed: reduce from 22mm³/s to maybe 18?
  • Keep the door closed

The two other bases are fairly clean, only the one close to the outside warped. So I think it has something to do with ambiant air.

The warping was not severe enough to make the part unusable, but I did make a design error so I have to print it again anyway. I decided to try what I described above plus a layer modifier 0-2mm with 100mm/s for inner and outer walls. It doesn’t increase the printing duration that much.

Lowering fan, reducing volumetric flow, reducing speed on first 2mm worked out great without too much affecting the print duration.

I published the model (an akurum ikea kitchen cabinet drawer organizer) at Ikea Kitchen Drawer organizer by maruel - MakerWorld.

If the area is cold, you may be opening the door alot? Just an idea based on the location of the warping. Also try setting brim gap to 0. If thats the cold plate, throw it away lol. If you like that finish, get a lightyear g10 plate.
