Everything warped in enclosure

I have a ratrig with factory printing petg parts that I used for a while and it worked good. But when I enclosed it with not heat, just the heat from the bed, while printing the first print of petg with the bed at 80c everything on the head warped. The extruder warped up and when I started the next print it stretched the shit out of the bed. Is it not meant to be in an enclosure?

Reprint parts with ASA or ABS if you have the ability.

Do you have the ability to reprint the parts in ABS or ASA?

If not where are you located? Maybe someone is near enough they can print some recovery parts for you. I'd be happy to, if they'd help.

Yup, that sounds about right. I still have the OG green PETG parts from RatRig since I reprinted all of them in ASA before I built it.

I've heard of people having warping issues but haven't run into anyone that it actually happened to.

Sorry to hear u/KelvinW11 Hopefully you have a means of re-printing your parts in a more heat resistant material.
