Customisable anti-curl cuboid base plate by alexgibson

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a proof of concept for a base plate that is mostly cuboid in shape, but should be much less prone to curling up at the corners.
This is particularly an issue when printing cuboids, which can make printing a model of a building challenging.
The idea is simple: to reduce the length of any straight sections, where the force exerted by cooling and contracting filament can build up, which is most extreme at the corners and in the first few layers.
It's a customizable design, so you can create the size of base plate you need to mount your model.
This is an initial concept I had, there is much more to come around use of texture to prevent warping of models.
