Support and first layer

KKVOL

Really new to printing, but I’ve had some good luck so far. Printed several 3.1 lowers with success, but the 4.8 alludes me. No matter how I orient the print, the mag well portion of the print pulls away from the supports during printing. What setting am I missing? Everything else is great, but have ran into this issue about 5 times now.

I have seen this as well. Without the bed adhesion, the forward portion of the lower is more susceptible to warping. Low speeds and the proper ambient temps are important to prevent warping. What filament are you using? With PLA room temp is good, more than that and it can stay a little soft and warp.

Man, somehow missed this replay. Running eSun PLA in my bonus room so temp is well controlled. I typically run my first layer at 30ish. I get adhesion, really good adhesion from plate to support, but from support to magwell seems to always be the issue. Trying strong tree supports today to see if this makes any difference.
