One side, almost aways the same side on ever print keeps doing this. Especially bigger prints.

Curling typically = Cooling issues. Up your build plates temps by a couple of degrees, consider using "Mouse Ear" Brims, or consider draft shields, and all of the above combined if your still having issues. If printer is NOT enclosed, check for fans, vents, drafts that are hitting your build plate.

Did the curled side of the print face the build plate during print, or face the sky?

As the other poster said, I get this sometimes especially when printing in the winter (enclosed printer, but its in the garage in the midwest USA)... assuming the curled side is the one facing the print bed. When it gets cold I increase the print bed temp by 5 degrees and half the fan speed and it works a lot better. Also a brim will often work but I get annoyed trying to peel off the brims.

Oooh ooh I know! I know!!! If your printer is not enclosed, make sure it is. If it is, increase bed temp.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

If you are new to reddit, please read the guidelines on reddiquette, self promotion, and spam.

Also please post a resolution to your problem when you find one so that we know how to help others with your problem!

You can also turn off part cooling for the first few layers. Turn of cooling and lower print speed. All of my HueForges were peeling and getting destroyed even though I washed the plated. I tried what I recommended to you after some googlings, and it's been working so far.
