New on buildplates.fyi / willitstick.fyi: a large-object warp test (beta) The standard test tells you whether a filament grips a plate. It can't tell you whether a part as long as your bed stays flat. The new test does.

Print a plain bar, 30 × 20 mm, stretched to 90% of your printer's X and placed along the front of the plate. Then record whether the part lifted, the plate lifted, or neither. It even warps in PLA, so you don't have to print with the expensive warp-prone stuff.

Pick your printer at buildplates.fyi/submit?test=large-object-v1 and the form tells you how long to print the bar, where it goes, and which file to start from.

Bambu Studio: one for the H series, one for the 256mm Bambu printers OrcaSlicer: one for everything else PrusaSlicer: one for Prusa printers Other slicers: the STL plus How to Test's settings table All four 3MFs are on Printables. MakerWorld has the Bambu Studio profiles and the OrcaSlicer file.

⚠️ It's a beta. We may still change the part, its settings or how lift is measured, and results from before a change may get deleted or marked invalid.

Results show up in the matrix as a small bar glyph: flat green when every run held, a raised amber end when something lifted. Each pairing gets its own large-object section too, and print queues get a large-object list next to the standard one.
