Prints lifting on small surface area prints
When printing with PLA, if I am printing at higher temps, like 235, I get good bed adhesion but lots of stringing, if I reduce heat to proper level of around 215 to 210, no stringing but the print fails because the print falls over during printing. This is especially true if there is a small surface area size print. How do I keep the print stuck but without all the stringing?
Thanks!
RE: Prints lifting on small surface area prints
For small surface areas prints, especially ones that are also tall, adding a brim will help massively. In Slicer > Print Settings > Brim
Of course you also need to keep the bed clean with IPA between prints. In some cases, especially after a lot of printing, it helps to scrub the bed with dish soap, warm water and a rough sponge.

Yet again, I will make a call-out for the Layerneer Bed Weld adhesive. It works well both in helping a troublesome first layer to stick, and as a release agent. If you do a search on the forum here for 'Layerneer', you can see some photos I posted.
