  "slug": "warping",
  "useCase": "troubleshooting",
  "useCaseLabel": "Troubleshooting",
  "updated": "2026-10-16",
  "shortAnswer": "Keep drafts off ABS and ASA, use the bed range on that spool's row, and add glue stick or PVA hairspray; a first layer that never stuck is bed adhesion.",
  "recommendedMaterials": [
    "abs",
    "asa"
  ],
  "printerConsiderations": [
    "The bank's consensus summary for this cluster is empty. This page does not invent one. The process below is the glue-stick comment plus the ABS and ASA rows.",
    "A comment on r/3Dprinting 10mpir5 is an update about misread bed springs and a G1 X0 Y0 move. That is a first-layer setup miss. It is not an ABS temperature.",
    "An infrared lamp is the subject of r/3Dprinting 177x4r5. A top comment points at a NASA report. This page does not take a lamp distance or a chamber temperature from that report."
  ],
  "pros": [
    "Glue stick or PVA hairspray is the plate step a supplied comment actually names.",
    "Bed numbers stay on the spool row. Bambu ABS and PolyLite ABS list 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). Prusament ASA lists 100–120 °C (212–248 °F)."
  ],
  "cons": [
    "Enclosure required is blank on these rows. Draft control is the process, not a filled cell.",
    "The bank lists r/prusa3d 16o8zv7 and r/BambuLab 17dz2tl. The supplied excerpts do not include a comment from either thread, so this page does not quote one."
  ],
  "community": "This cluster has no consensus summary and no recommended-material list in the bank. The usable plate comment is on r/FixMyPrint 1526ay2: PVA-based hairspray or glue stick. r/3Dprinting 10mpir5, in the text supplied here, is a user correcting a bed-spring reading. r/3Dprinting 177x4r5 points at NASA technical report 20170000214 and includes a fire-extinguisher joke. Temperatures below are the catalog rows, not a lamp setup.",

      "a": "No. Glue stick or PVA hairspray is the plate step from the r/FixMyPrint 1526ay2 comment. Bambu ABS and PolyLite ABS still list a bed of 90–110 °C (194–230 °F). Prusament ASA lists 100–120 °C (212–248 °F). Use the row you loaded."
