Warping Flaw Advice
Hello,
This might be a filament issue or a settings issue. I thought I might ask for pointers.
I designed this part and printed it in a vertical orientation. This will make the preferred look when removing the support material.
My setup is:
Core One
Prusa Slicer 2.9.3
Filament: Hobby Lobby White PLA and Inland Shimmer Nebula PLA (Black/Purple blend)
The earlier prototype printed well. But when I printed a revised version in white, this little warps occur. The revision was basically making the etch lines deeper, maybe some other minor details, but that part of the model is unchanged. The warp does happen on both sides identically, I just shown the one side.
Any thoughts on what would cause this? I included my STL and slicer setup. I was using 0.1mm Fast Detail profile. The warp occurs on about the same layer the support material breaks off at.
I really do need to learn how to properly setup my machine...Skill issue I suppose.

No solution but one observation: White filaments can be more fussy than other colors because of the pigments. Of course, two different brands, this adds even more uncertainty. I'd review print settings for the white filament e.g. print a temperature tower and break it at every step - if feasible - to get a feel for layer adhesion.

I am going to switch to PETG this weekend and do some tests. But I am a little confused what you mean by "break" it? Do you mean put a delay every layer?

@mnentwig is talking about one rather crude aspect of old fashioned physical testing, something that is sadly lacking in a lot of 3D print design ... in this case take a graduated tower in two hands and rip it apart ... which layers are toughest to break and therefore are bonded best?
Cheerio,

Ah, destruction. I am good at that.
