This was great. Looking forward to more projects!

I could tell from the beginning that there wasn't enough glue on the bambu plate, exactly where the parts warped.

[@v4projects]

The parts did actually bend the flexplate it self when the parts stuck better to the plate! (ABS)

[@ultimateorestis]

@@v4projects Oh, that sounds fun! 😅So what could be done to avoid this? Applying less adhesive, or even lowering the bed print temp 1-2 deg?

[@v4projects]

@@ultimateorestis I don't know, maybe the magnets will work better with lower temperature as you suggest? I have seen the same thing happen before when printing long/flat parts in ABS. I prefer to print PETG anyway, but had some ABS left so had to go with that this time.
