After two to three layers, the print started to move around on the print bed.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">The next try was to increase the print bed temperature only by 5\u00b0C to a total 65\u00b0C and add a brim to the print.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">Here you can see the brim, generated by cura at the top part of the box.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost:8001\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Photo-2017-10-17-18-35-20_2837.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:8001\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Photo-2017-10-17-18-35-20_2837-250x333.jpg\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">As you can see there is not much space between the outer shell and the inner circle of the model. This made the removal of the brim some more work than just removing it on the outside of a print.
