Warping (corner lift)

3 Causes3 Solutions

Symptoms

Corners lift from the build plate, especially on larger flat parts or in colder rooms with airflow.

Quick fix

Increase bed temperature slightly, add a brim, and reduce draft around the printer.

Causes

  • Profile mismatch between material and print settings.
  • Mechanical setup drift (belt tension, leveling, or nozzle condition).
  • Unstable temperature or moisture-sensitive filament handling.

Solutions

  • Re-run a short calibration print and adjust one parameter at a time.
  • Inspect hardware path: nozzle, extruder grip, bed condition, and belts.
  • Use material-specific presets and confirm temperatures with a test model.
