o Brim
In Slic3r you can also add a brim; this feature increases the first layer size by
implementing a border around your object when printing the first layer. This increases
the surface tension and reduces the chance on warpage significantly.
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 "Skirt and brim" and change the
"Brim width" value. The value you fill in will be the size of the border that you add
around your object on the first layer only.
o Temperature heated print bed
If your print does not remain on your print bed while printing you could increase the
temperature of your bed. When you use PLA or PVA filament we advise you to start with
a bed temperature of 60°C. If you are still experiencing warping problems set this
temperature to 65/70°C. For ABS or Nylon we advise to start with a bed temperature of
80°C. You could increase this to 85/90°C. If you are printing with multiple filament types
at the same time please make sure that your bed is set to the temperature for the
filament that requires the hottest bed.
