Warping y cracking, what are they and how to avoid them
Many times when we start with 3D printing we find different problems that can give us many headaches. The most common are warping and cracking, problems that arise with the ABS filament, especially with ASA, not with the rest of 3D filaments. But exactly what are they? and most importantly, how can we avoid them? At Winkle we want to solve your doubts and help you so that your 3D prints are what you imagined. Warping occurs when the pieces we print detach from the base and curl upward. But why does this happen? It is because the layers are cooling on top of others and, when contracting, they pull the material upwards. It is a problem that we can easily find when we 3D print by extrusion with thermoplastics,…
