I stumbled across this by accident, but, wow, what a difference it makes. Previously I’d use slicer brims, set at a clearance of 0.0mm separation if I wanted to hold down some big object. However, with large objects, sometimes the model would pull away from the build plate anyway if there were str…

Is that a frostbite plate? You should not need any brims for that plate or am I wrong? Your model doesn’t appear to be a model that requires brims. Right now I am printing a 7h print that covers almost the entire plate and have no warping. This is about the 10th time Printed this diorama wall piec…

This enhanced “brim” grips so well I can even lower the heated bed temperature.

thing is, you can do that in slicer already. But no matter how strong you make it, if it wanna warp that bad, its gonna warp with the buildplate along. [{376DC0C6-D127-4357-98BE-FA4C477F3112}]

Does it warp after being removed from the build plate? Or crack, due to built-up stresses? Kinda hard to argue with rules of thermodynamic contraction… :slight_smile: I mean if it works, right on, just curious about what happens later. Don’t know what material you’re using… I’ve had PETG obj…

In my experience, the end piece has only a tiny hint of bend still in it after you crack it from the plate - but only if it bended after it cooled - not during printing, where more new layers can build up and give it different shapes… See this piece, no print errors because it was flat till cooldow…

That is a clever approach. By modeling the brim directly in CAD, the slicer treats it as part of the object, so the first layer pattern interlocks with the model instead of printing a weak concentric outline. This explains why the adhesion becomes much stronger and helps prevent warping on large pri…
