Warping with PCTG

i am printing larger parts with extrudr PCTG and can't figure out how to prevent warping.

At this point the printbed itself seems to be the problem. Has anyone got a Idea how to fix that?

There are lots of ways. One is to use clips to clip the print sheet to the bed. Another is to change the orientation of the part, change the number of walls, the infill density and type. Please save your project as a 3MF, zip it and attach it here.

PC should be printed in an enclosure to reduce the warping at source.

With all the CoreOne upgrades happening there are used MK3/MK4 enclosures going cheap now.

He talks about PCTG (Polycyclohexylenedimetylen Tereftalat Glykol)

Not PC (Polycarbonate)
