4.2 My object won´t stick to the bed
Print sticker
It is possible to make more than one print on one print sticker. However, if you print several
prints on the same sticker, it is possible that your object won´t stick on the bed any more. In that
case, please replace your sticker.
After printing several prints on one sticker, you will notice the print sticker will tear/rip on some
places. For smaller parts this is not a problem, because you can position them on a place that is
not damaged. However, if bigger parts do not stick on your bed, always place a new print sticker
first.
Warping
When ABS cools down after extrusion, it has a certain percentage of shrinkage. This means that
the object tries to get a bit smaller. Resulting in the infamous warping. You can reduce warping
by changing the Infill or adding Brim.
o Infill
If you are experiencing warping, we would advise to decrease the infill if possible.
Reducing the infill will reduce the shrinkage as you decrease the amount of material that
can shrink. An infill of 0.1 (this equals 10%) will be strong enough in most cases and also
solves the warping issue.
In Repetier Host Leapfrog, go to the "Slicer" tab, click on the button "Configure". Now
Slic3r will open, go to the tab "Print Settings", select "Infill" and change the "Fill density"
value. A fill density of 1 is 100% infill [solid], a fill density of 0.1 is 10% infill. Do not forget
to click on the "Save" button.
