[ABS curling]

We have an enclosure on the four sides but no on the top. I might test it with a cardboard on top.

If it's more on one side versus another then it's almost always fan related.  After verifying that both side fans are working, in your mind position the nozzle over your print and look where the 2 fans are blowing.

 

Is this on a UM3?  Your profile says you have a UM3 but that doesn't mean this was printed on your UM3.

 

Looking at the cura profile for UM3 and abs it has the fan at 5% which makes sense as at least for my UM3, 20% is the same as 100% and 5% is like half power which is typically good for ABS.  But perhaps for your print 5% isn't enough fan.  Usually ABS gets too much fan and you have layers not adhering very well but this looks kind of like the opposite problem where you aren't getting enough fan.

 

When the printer is idle go into the menus and there is a way to turn the side fans on - set them to 100% and 5% and see if 5% seems like about half power based on the intensity of the noise (not based on the pitch).

 

I would also consider printing slower.  For really nice quality parts I like to set all the printing speeds to 35mm/sec.  Or even 25mm/sec for extra high quality.  Printing slower as it goes around the tips of those arms/teeth should help them not pull inwards so much.

 

It could be your side fans are broken.  If so that would explain everything.

 

The print was made on a UM S3. I will try looking at the fans and make a new test. Thanks

Hi,

 

We are trying to print an ABS gear but we have curling issues. The curling occures only on one side of the gear. We tried to reduce speed and nozzle temperature without success. Any idea what can help?

 

It looks like warping on the pictures but it is not.

 

Thanks for your help.
