Posted · [UM2] ABS Warping? The final solution.

I just wanted to post here that i've *FINALLY* solved all of my Ultimaker 2's warping issues.  I've always had a theory that the open top was just too much for thermal management of prints.  Over several years, I noticed that closing in the top with painters tape helped control warping and greatly improve bed adhesion.

 

Whelp. I ordered one of these https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805493131735.html and installed it last night.  Immediately did a print, and had absolutely zero ABS warping for the first time ever.

 

*HIGHLY* recommended.  I have no connection or affiliation with that aliexpress seller, or the manufacturer.  For the price under $100, I wish I bought one years ago and wasted less of my time messing around with "free" solutions.
