Hi all, I have some questions when it comes to plate adhesion, and supports.

This
is a long print, about 18 hours without supports, and 22 hours with supports; and
I'm unsure if the supports are necessary. The model is made in such a way that the
curved parts gradually build up, but is it better to play it safe and just have the
supports in there?

When it comes to plate adhesion, i've had some trouble in the past. In the past
when I try to print long objects, it seems to curl up on one end of the object. I
read somewhere that increase the build plate temperature, but what temperature is
optimal for such a large object? My current temp is 60 degrees, would 5 degrees
make a difference in stick-age? For such a large cylinder that covers most of the
build plate, i'm worried it might peel off the base plate while printing.

Any and all advice would be welcome, thank you!
