#3dprinting friends, what material has the least tendency to shrink and warp as it cools? I have an ambitious project in mind that involves printing basically a solid disk (100% infill) that's about 20cm across, but even in my X1 PLA just peels up and ABS actually shrinks so hard it bowl-shapes the magnetic plate and it starts rotating and crawling around on the bed.
Warping is fine, exact dimensional accuracy isn't needed for this part, but I *do* need it to at least finish printing in place.
