This sounds unlikely to have been the actual cause unless you'd messed with esteps or something.

<p>Same G-code slice? The main cause of warping is temperature. If this is kept as a control variable and you have these results, it may be because of a different temperature the filament requires.

The same bed/nozzle temperatures for both rings.

It's not unusual for colored filaments to have different optimum temperature when compared to natural/un-colored filament.

Point being, maybe it *shouldn't* be the same temperature on both filaments.

Higher temperature likely will fix this, but the reason isn't the materials needing different temperatures. It's likely moisture-contaminated filament.

<p>I had problems with print bed adhesion when using white PLA (Arctic White) but no problems when using other colors. So I tried to print three bottom layers with transparent PLA and all other layers with white PLA. I did not change any setting and printed both tries one after another using the same .stl file.</p>
<p>There was some warping of the printed ring too. No problems when using transparent plus white PLA.</p>

check filament diameters with a caliper or micrometer.

@Abel I checked both filameters with a caliper, both 1.75 mm.

I've never had poor adhesion make strait lines in the wrong place.

# Bad print bed adhesion of white PLA, no problems with transparent uncolored PLA?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-11-07)

I had problems with print bed adhesion when using white PLA (Arctic White) but no problems when using other colors. So I tried to print three bottom layers with transparent PLA and all other layers with white PLA. I did not change any setting and printed both tries one after another using the same .stl file.

There was some warping of the printed ring too. No problems when using transparent plus white PLA.

Has anyone experienced similar problems?
