Tips on reducing warping?
Trying to print a high fill solid model (not for strength, just heft).
Issue: Bottom of print (bedside) warps. Tried 90% and 60% fill - both turned out warping.
Printer: mk3s with textured sheet
Filament: PLA
Infill: rectilinear
I know the main issue is the high fill % - but how much does fill pattern determine warpage? Is there anything I can do to minimize?

Avoid temperature fluctuation. An enclosure can help keep temps even. Use a brim to try to keep warping to a minimum.

Use a smooth sheet when printing PLA as it adheres better.

And, lower infill, imho, reduces the amount of rapidly cooling upper layers pulling up on a bunch of mushy layers down at the bed. Slowing down the print fan sometimes helps, as does printing a full height skirt to help insulate the upper layers.
