White PLA from Amazonbasics is rising up after some layers

Hi everyone, I'm trying for the first time to print on my Prusa Mini using white PLA from amazonbasic.

After some layers of print the printed object starts to rise up and then get hitted by the printer and everything is going mess.

I tried with different bed temps (55-65°), and tried also cold pull, nozzle change, z-layer calibration but the result is the same.

I've never had this kind of problem using PETG.

Can anyone help me?

Please run the built-in first layer calibration routine and show us the result *on the print sheet*
Cheerio,

RE:

Also of this is a new print sheet then I suggest to really wash it well with a dish soap and scrub it for over 10min with a harsh wide if the dish sponge.

The print sheets can be covered by some special coating that makes filament not to stick so well - if you pour the water on it it will run in streaks which is w sign it needs better cleaning. After good cleaning the water will cling to the surface over the whole area of the print sheet.

Make sure to wash it on both sides.

Then start first layer calibration.

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

Are you using the smooth sheet for the PLA ? I find that the PLA tends to warp off the textured plate. 

Prusa is MK4S w/ MMU3 (formerly MK4 / MMU3, MK3S+/MMU2), 2 Prusa MINI+, Octoprint. PETG, PVB, (some) PLA.

The suggestion from @happykatz does the trick!
With the smooth sheet the print looks perfect (I was previously using the textured plate).
