Large print warping issue
I printed a large cover, 500x350 and 130 deep.
Printed well. However for for reason the sides are bulging out, and the bottom is bulging in.....what can cause that ?
I have a vcore 3 500, with no cover. Printed in PETG

This is unfortunately a legitimate a property of plastic and has nothing to do with your settings really unless you're cooling too much too fast. Especially with prints one wall thick the structure isn't sturdy and the contractions of the plastic are strong enough to physically bend the print out of shape. The only fix for stuff like this would be to get an enclosure and not let your plastic cool too quickly (turn down cooling fans a little bit). As the plastic cools it contracts causing the the sides to bulge in or out on different sides. I hope this helps in any way.
Thank you. It helps rule out tuning issues. Many thanks
