PeleSpirit,

I’ve never seen that, is it showing you that message on the touchscreen? Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to unload any remaining filament between prints, especially before it gets too brittle to remove.

I read it in the manual and now I can’t find it so I can’t tell you where.

You can purchase or build an enclosure for it if you like, which can be useful both for storage and printing, but if it’s not too dusty, you can leave it out in the open. Just wipe with a microfiber cloth before your next print. Garbage bags can also work as a dust cover in a pinch as well, but make sure your printer’s had a chance to cool down before covering.

I was going to use a garbage bag, lol. It’s in my studio so it doesn’t matter what it looks like and I’ll be sure to cool down.

Large, flat prints can be tough to master since there’s lots of variables involved. (Platform might not be hot enough/too hot/unevenly heated, bed may need better leveling, could be affected by room temp, etc.) Brims & rafts do help, but sometimes an enclosure is needed to retain the right ambient temperature. Regardless, it’s always a good idea to clean the print bed before each session and sometimes even between prints, like if it’s dusty or when you accidentally touch the bed.

It still turned out great but it was a scary ride when the edges started curling. I will definitely clean it more.

Thanks for all of the tips, I really appreciate them I’m taking them all to heart from all of you.
