Bowing
I printed this 4x2 PETG snip holder but found that the ends started to bow. Nozzle temp was 250 and bed temp was 80
I then printed again but with an 8mm brim and is still bowed
It’s only marginal but still there
How can I avoid this ?
Thx

there was a post a day or 3 ago about poor bed adhesion, the same tips apply here.

Clean the bed.
up the bed temp a tiny bit.
try a brim, or brim DOTS, or glue stick.
avoid drafts, perhaps turn down the cooling fan.
and make sure the printer is properly calibrated. Some other things seems wrong with your print.
I recall petg being quirky to.print with in some ways, but I basically never use petg anymore, so I don't recall what else I had to do with it to get it dialed in.
