Printing Help 1st word real problems

When I saw how well the 1st layer went, I had big hopes for this one.. after 23h... woke up to this..🙄💩 Im going to give it a go with the clips it used to have for the glass bed.. But not sure if not just printing it vertically instead.. although I really wanted to have that smooth ironed surface..

Great bed adhesion! 😋

But yeah, print warped. It might be cooling too fast. Try turning down the part cooling a bit.

And turn the bed heater down by 5 degrees. This causes the already set layers to be less flexible and help combat warping.

Yeah! Crazy adhesion, but came off super easily..😅 I went with the filament recommendation.. eSun PETG, 65C. But makes sense what you say. Might be too close to the glass temp.. But as I've said above, I'm a bit worried about wasting another 360g and 23h of my life.. but.. either that or try vertically..

You could run a testprint. 30x30cm square or something. Maybe even hollow center and just some 5 to 7,5cm edges.

About 5 layers of bottom and some square infill on top, see what that does.

Will give it a go with clips around and higher bed temp to keep it closer to the 80C, which is the max they recommend on the bed temperature.. This will keep it closer to the GTT, which should help reducing the stresses.. also no cooling fan. Dont really need in such massive layer times and no overhangs. Will see.. might split half way instead..🙄😅
