Why

[david merten]

Why do prints shrink and warp on the bottom, while the top is flat? Just a question that is bugging me.

Temp Differentials???

I sucked at Calc 3 - but, was Great at Diffy-Q (Differential Equations) - although that was YEARS ago...

If I were to guess the issue. I suspect the bottom stays much hotter - since its on the build plate. Now - this is probably NOT a Stretch - but, if you were to leave print on the printer - let printer FULLY Cool Down - and only THEN take the print off the printer - I bet you would find that the bottom may NOT Shrink/Warp so much! Why? Cause you let it cool down more naturally!

Give it a SHOT - and let us know how it turns out - and if this helps!
