I am having some bad luck with PETG. From the reviews I have read it seems to be an awesome filament that I would love to work with. However on anything larger than an inch I am getting curling on the edges. I have tried a few things:
I increased the heat and slowed the first layer down to increase adhesion. I also turned the cooling fan off. I am printing at 249 first layer and 245 2+.
I added 8 brim outlines 10mm from part.
Ive tried modifying the design to add tabs on the edge and tape these tabs down to attempt to hold it down with no luck.
I added a sheet of PEI to print on as the stock bed is not level.
I am using a gmax 1.5xt+ without the heated bed. Is this where I am going totally wrong? Do I need to invest in the heated bed?
Kyle said I can try and super glue the part to the bed after a few layers have been printed, But I am looking for a solution to the problem instead of a band-aid. I really dont want to have to super glue every part down.
