Corners Lifting

Recently I have started having a problem with corners lifting. I had been printing successfully, then suddenly everything falls apart in the first few layers. I'm using ABA. I am also try to print a much wider object than in the past.

RE: Corners Lifting

ABS shrinks - a lot.

If you have a big object, I think an enclosure is required. Otherwise the corners will lift...

Mouse ears might help - but ABS really wants to shrink.

A " photo tent" can help(is cheap), or get silver isolation foam(see YouTube for example), then you can build yourself. Or a cardboard box.

Add a big brim connected to the part, and/or glue stick.

Print 10 or more degrees hotter can also help.

Put filament in oven to get water out of the filament.

Last week i printed ABS, and it crack on a lot places, hotter helpt.

Thank you! I moved the printer to the warmest room in the house and that solved the problem. I also fine tuned the bed leveling.
