I’m hoping you guys can help me figure this out. I have an ender 3 pro, running on marlin firmware.
Every time I try to print something one of the corners will lift up like that and ruin the entire print. I installed a crtouch to help with leveling, installed upgraded metal bed wheels to help it not fall out of level. Even tried a glass bed with glue and it still does the same thing. I used a filament dryer and have a heat enclosure.
I’m starting to run out of ideas on how to fix this. Any suggestions? The pic is how it starts and that was just a brim since I used to always use a raft and thought I should try that instead.

Yeah, that was about 5 minutes into just printing a brim.
did you get it figured out yet? Adhesion is bad there, maybe you can move it to a different place in on the bed in the slicer? did you try giving your bed a good dish soap wash and then wipe it with alcohol?
or add a 10 level skirt to trap more heat?
I have heard of people using painting tape to stick it to the bed when doing long prints that start coming up like that but that is lame
if thats an endor, do you have a glass sheet you can try printing on?
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.
