Cool but hot

Postby 4424ever » Sun Jan 06, 2019 11:08 pm

Well here’s one for you. When I purchased my printer (used) it came with a BuildTak magnetic heat bed. So here I am printing a couple of Chappyman66’s chassis when it hits me UREAKAH I have a hotbed with magnets in it :banana-dance:
So I rounded up some loose bar magnets, all ways laying around in the way but try and find them when you want them, and while one chassis prints another twisted one is on the heatbed to see if it will straighten out
I’ll let you know if it works :dance:

Sorry for that guys I totally forgot about this post
As for the chassis it did level but returned to warped like it had a memory
I don’t think the bed was hot enough since the hot water treatment did the trick your mileage may vary

Part of the hot water trick is allowing it to cool gradually which helps the stress relief.
Pulling a chassis off the bed doesn't do that. Good idea though..... useful for window forming, maybe??
