Gave it some time to print and unfortunately it lifted up again. Going to wait for the thermometer to come in and see if that corner is heating properly

So I gave it another try with the black filament after doing some additional adjustments and was still getting the same issues. I then swapped to a brighter filament so that I could get a better picture and now it’s laying perfectly flat. I’ll let it continue printing to see if any other issues pop up, but it’s weird that one filament was lifting but an older spool works fine.

I have a box already but never thought of trying those out. Thanks for the tip!
I’m working on it right now to try out some of the suggestions people have given me. I’m waiting on a thermometer to come in so I can make sure my printer is giving accurate temps. I’ve had similar issues with the glass as I am with the magnetic, but if I can’t get my current test to work I might try again on glass. Right now I figured out how to get mouse ears on the corners so I’m giving that a shot. I have cleaned it a few times already but maybe I used too high of a percent on the ipa so I’ll try again with a lower percent.
I’m using pla. I know my printer had something about a mesh in the settings but I don’t think I’ve used it, I should read up on it to see if it actually is set up to do that. The brim is what’s actually lifting off.
The last time I cleaned it I used 99% isopropyl alcohol, hoping to get a good clean on it with no luck. I’ll try using a lower percent next to see if that changes anything
I did level it using paper and using the crtouch. I’m not sure how I could get it any closer
I’m using pla, I didn’t think about the temps being wrong though. I usually heat it to 200C and 65C respectively. I’ll have to get an external thermometer to check that out
I’ll see if the either of the slicers I use have that feature. If not I’ll check out orca
Yeah, that was about 5 minutes into just printing a brim.
I have washed it a couple times and was getting the same results. I’ll try again just in case.
I’ll definitely take a look at the pei sheets, that’s the first I’ve heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion!
I might also try changing how the print sits on the bed to make it print more like a diamond instead of a square shape, since it’s always one of the back corners that start the lifting. Not actually sure it that would help but who knows
Makes sense, I’ll try that out. Thanks!
I’ll need to figure out how to make the mouse ears that everyone suggests. I haven’t actually made my own models before and the brim is automatically made with the creality slicer. I tried cura as well but that was doing weird things with the print if I recall so I went back to the creality one. If I can’t figure it out on there, I’ll see if cura gives me more options for that. Thanks for the info
I use pla or pla+. I’ve played around with the temps but usually to a higher temp. I’ve seen some suggest a lower temp so I’ll give that a try and see if it helps
The picture is actually the brim of the print. It hadn’t actually gotten to the first layer yet. I’ll have to figure out how to do the mouse ears since that seems to be a common suggestion.
I think their free tier prevents you from torrenting
