I have been printing a 3Dlabprint Slic3r P-47. I have run into a rather vexing issue. I got a lot of print issues worked out with the fuselage pieces. The quality of the parts looks pretty good. Now, the problem is getting the wings to stay on the bed. The rear portion of the airfoil keeps pulling up. Only a portion of the section is losing adhesion. the main portion of the airfoil is staying tight to the bed, but the rear 1/4 to 1/3 is pulling off the bed, up to several millimeters at the rear of the airfoil. I believe it's a contraction issue, that seems obvious, but I am not sure how to control it. The problem it creates is that the glue surface is compromised, since there's a large gap at the rear of the section. My printer is a Makerfarm Pegasus 10. I have the filament at 200 C, and the bed at 70 C, as recommended by 3Dlabprint. I am going to try a print with a brim to see if the additional surface area will help it stay adhered, but based on what I am seeing, I am not confident this will solve it. I am wondering if anyone else has printed one of these planes and what settings they used to keep the wing sections tight to the bed.
EDIT: I am using eSun 1.75mm filament.
Edit2: just noticed I misspelled 3Dlabprint.... . And of course, it's the title and I can't edit it....
I did try a brim, 2 layers thick, the trailing edge still pulled up..... I am going to try a higher bed temperature next. If that fails, not sure where to go next. I will also map out my bed and see if it has temperature variations. If I see large temperature variations, I will look at reorienting the part so it's on more consistent temperature across the base of the part. I am wasting a lot of filament trying to solve this problem!
