I’m trying to get back into 3d pruning after a long hiatus.

I found my old Anycubic Chiron, and thought I’d give it a go. Smaller prints seem fine. But anything longer than an hour. Come off like this. I say that what I mean is I excitedly take the multi hour print off the bed in excitement and for get to look at how it is.

The two longer prints definitely were at least in part still adhered to the print bed despite it being cold.

My next plan is to set a print away and check on it every hour or so and see if one side of the print has warped mid print (so far I’ve been printing before I go to bed, and only watching the initial couple of layers).

My guess it that the (pla+) filament is warping mid print… Its old I’ll admit. But was stored in an airtight container with silica packs, and I dried it out before using. But any of your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

    An enclosure doesn’t have to be fancy, in a pinch I’ve literally used a garbage bag (I don’t recommend this though bc of fire risk and the risk getting caught up in the kinematics)

    It’s been ages since I did the glue/hairspray/tape stuff. I just use a pei sheet now. It’s not a great solution, it gets everywhere unless you remove your bed to spray it

      I use a PEI sheet + hairspray for my smooth plate and just raw dog the textured plate. I find that prints don’t stick well enough on my smooth PEI (Bambu) without the hairspray to help.
