Hello netizens of Lemmy, while printing this single wall wing segment i ran into a problem with significant bulging around the middle. This causes the segments to not fit onto the frame or each other. If anyone has ideas on how to fix this, please share. At this point i'm pretty desperate and willing to try just about anything.

Update

In the end it was a combination of slowing down the print, lowering nozzle temperature, and adding perpendicular supports to the flat parts.

Solution (for PLA): Nozzle temp 190C, bed temp 55C, print speed 30mm/s, keep the fans spinning, double walls so that the supports can be printed with the body in one stroke as otherwise they won't attach.

Usually for delicate things like this I try to slow the speed way down (30-50 mm/s) and just let it go overnight. I don't know if that'll help fix this particular issue though.
