There is far more going on than I expected.

I've heard it a lot, people don't have warpage problems, they have all of their settings dialed in so well that it just is not a problem. Well maybe... but what's probably more likely is that they do have the problem, they just don't know it. In this video we see if we can answer that question to see whether prints under a variety of different conditions do warp, and if they do warp, how much and will it be a problem?

We're going full time! Help to make it a Success!

When I started printing, it was with ABS, and I had all kinds of problems, that was until I built an enclosure, I know that ABS warps, it's well known. Because of this we don't use fans when we print with it, and we have to print it in an enclosure, but PETG and PLA are different, they don't warp... right? That's not really true. I'll show a few examples in the video, but it really depends on the parts your printing, the conditions they are in and the settings of your prints. There are quite a few factors involved and it's sometimes hard to tell if the print warped.

If you have great adhesion to the buildplate, we know for sure that the prints didn't warp right? Well not so fast with that either, again it's hard to tell but there is something going on there as well that's hard to see.
