Heating the bed has been used for a long time and is well known. In case of
ZMorph personal fabricator, bed works also as a HEATER for the CHAMBER.
Heating the bed to 100°C and keeping the chamber closed increases internal air tempera-
ture to about 50°C, which has positive eect to ABS plastic. Protective atmosphere prevents
cracks between layers, curling up the edges, saves energy and keeps the smells inside.
Important: It is essential to pay attention to how rst print layer sticks to the
bed. If the nozzle is too high, the print won’t have good contact and won’t heat up well.
This will result in curling the edges and deformations during higher layers. If nozzle
height is not even for entire table area, check the calibration.
If the nozzle is too low (touches the glass during rst layer)
- lament will jam due to nozzle blockage. If this happens:
!
Re-adjust Z-endstop, and home Z axis
(check the clearance with sheet of paper).
Remove the plastic entirely.
Cut 10-20cm o, and load it back again.
