Customisable anti-curl cuboid base plate #2

thingiverse

This design proves the concept for a platform to hold 3D models in cube form, but reduces curling at corners. Cuboids often pose an issue when printed, making building complex structures challenging. To solve this, any horizontal sections need shortening to minimize filament force from cooling and contraction, which accumulates most severely at edges and initial layers. This customizable platform enables creation of various base plate sizes tailored for each model. Although this concept has started, additional methods incorporating texture to prevent warping are under development. Share your prints with attribution, along with any feedback! Several key points: The main goal is finding the optimal design method that lessens curling while all else remains constant; it doesn't tackle curl-up at its root. As I experiment on diverse printers and materials, I'm aware of other solutions for securing parts. Additionally, this principle should apply universally to thermoplastics shrinking during extrusion.
