ome, if your having that kind of trouble then your printing on the wrong surface for the type of plastic. i dont remember if you said what plastic type you were using and what the bed was that you were printing on??

OME: When you are complete fixing up for printer, can you post up some pics?
I have just had my i2 returned back to me and I'm going to be encasing this into perspex along the threaded rod to keep heat in.

THAT'S AN AWESOME IDEA!

Warping is my worst obstacle in printing. (ABS, Prusa i2 & steel nozzle, hotbed)
It seems like smart solution.
Thank you for ingenious invention !

I'm happy if it's helping some folks.

Did I mention that we also use Aqua Net hairspray (for ABS)? Warm the bed, give a light dusting with Aqua Net, let it set up, print away.

After a bunch of prints, you'll have some buildup, but it's water soluble, so just wash it off and start over.

Here's an stl file for a mouse-eared plate. If you are going to use it, add this file to slic3r first, then add your object file and arrange your object file on the top of the mouse-eared plate. If your object is too big, then highlight the mouse-eared plate and use the Scale function to enlarge it until your object's footprint is smaller than the plate's footprint.

.4mm thick and 115C bed temperature. Result: The edges turned up like the toes on a Alladin's slippers.
Tomorrow I'm going to the hardware shop to get some square aluminium tubing to make a fully enclosed cabinet for my printer to see if that will keep the temperatures correct.
