This video explains why 3D prints warp using a simple experiment. The presenter demonstrates how the cooling and shrinking of plastic layers during printing can cause internal stresses that lead to deformation. The video focuses on the cause of warping and promises to address prevention in a future video.

This video offers a quick solution to 3D printing warping. The presenter explains how to use the "draft shield" setting in the PrusaSlicer software to create a wall around the print as it progresses. This helps to maintain a more uniform temperature and reduce warping. The video shows the results of using this setting, demonstrating its effectiveness.

This video follows a maker's journey to fix a warped 3D printer bed. They start by leveling the bed and then use a custom utility to measure the bed's flatness. The maker then explores different methods to flatten the bed, including sanding and scraping, before finally achieving a significant improvement in print quality.

The video explores a common 3D printing problem: warping. The creator demonstrates a solution using a cardboard enclosure, a glass bed, and blue masking tape. The enclosure helps maintain a consistent temperature, while the tape provides a strong adhesion surface. The creator is excited about the potential of this solution for printing flat, complex objects.

The video demonstrates a technique to prevent ABS 3D prints from warping. The creator shares their struggles with warping and unsuccessful attempts with blue tape and hairspray. They then introduce a solution using acetone and a scrap piece of ABS plastic to create a smooth, sticky surface on the build platform. The video also highlights the importance of maintaining a consistent temperature during the printing process, suggesting the use of a box to raise the ambient temperature.
