Hello, I have been trying for a couple of months to get my PLA to stop lifting in the corners. Often the piece comes loose and scraps that print. We have the hot plate but I can't get the PLA or ABS to stick.. Any suggestions would be great

If you are using the acrylic bed, I would suggest giving a good sanding with the sanding block that came with the printer. I have also found that increasing the first layer temp helps with adhesion on both the acrylic and heated bed. What temps are you printing at? And what is your heated bed set to when you use that?

I tried printing my first layer at 220 yesterday then I printed the rest at 180 with a 40-55% fan speed.

With the hot plate I tried 30-70degree bed and it never stuck
