Optimal Settings for PLA on X1C

Hey everyone, I’ve been printing for almost a year now. I don’t have the best print quality/experience and have been frustrated by the little things, I want to know how you are printing and the settings you use, I’ll share some issues I’m having and hopefully we can fix them together!

1. ⁠I can’t use the printers fans without warping/detaching the prints entirely if they are on! I keep having to turn the fans off at the start and after the first layer inspection! I feel like I am helicopter parenting the printer/prints! I also can’t keep the door closed as the prints never work, I for sure want to fix the door problem!

2. ⁠I print on 220°C for the nozzle and 35°C for the bed, some room for improvements there as I ordered some textured plates and effects beds for Black Friday. How do you print?

Also I use a UHU stick (same as a standard school glue stick, same as the Bambu lab one that comes with the printer) I’ve been told do use that and so far it works as long as I do the above (keep fans off, door open)

What do you do? I would really love the help/suggestions!

Thanks Reddit!

Hey Everyone,

I have been experiencing problems lately on my X1C with the parts I print lifting and warping when the part and auxiliary fan kick in (primarily the aux fan) I use glue for adhesion and print only in PLA and its variants, Bed temp is typically 35°C and nozzle is 220°c (Standard). I try to turn these off but it’s really annoying to do that ALL THE TIME 😅! Any solutions or similar situations?

Please help! Thanks,
