Hi everyone.
I have recently been encountering an issue of warping of my first layers, predominantly on my y-axis.
I have a Prusa Mendel i2, and my heating bed is problematic, as it heats up only half the bed (roughly from y=80mm to the end of the bed). The issue I am having appears predominantly on the first layers.
I printed a small object (
toy truck) to check whether i was having this problem only in larger prints. It appears not as you can see in the attached images:
Does anyone have any suggestions on what may be causing this and how I could solve this issue (aside from buying a new heating bed which is on the way)?
The print was made with PLA @ 187 Celsius, 0.2 layer height and Bed temp @ 50 degrees Celsius (which again is not exactly accurate as it is more like 70 on half of the bed and 25-26 on the other half so that the thermistor at the middle of the bed reads 50).
