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.

Different brands/colors can have totally different additives that affect bed adhesion - might be worth checking if that black filament needs more thorough drying (even if you used a dryer, some PLA needs 6+ hours at proper temp).
I started to think that might be the case. I was consistently getting the yellow to adhere but the black was just lifting up in minutes. The yellow was old hatchbox filament, the black was some random cheap “value pack” with no name. The yellow snapped in the middle of a print last night so I put it in the dryer for 6 hours and put it back into the printer and it seems to be working great right now
