Warping on my prints
Hi,
I have tried a few different things already, including using both the flat and the powder coated plates, using magigoo, washing the plates with alcohol, drying and heating the filament, and using two different brands of filament, but I still keep getting warping and low bed adhesion as can be seen in attached photo.
Any help would be appreciated.

1. Bed adhesion. If the first layer does not stick well enough, the next layers pull up the corners = warping.
So first to do:
- clean plate, using little dishwashing soap and hot water. rinse with clean hot water, dry and place on the bed
- first layer calibration. My favorite: https://www.printables.com/model/251587-stress-free-first-layer-calibration-in-less-than-5/files
- Use brims. Or if you don't want brim, consider brim ears

- PS. You might also consider changing the elephant feet setting a bit, so the edges on the plate are more precise.
We will do what we have always done. We will find hope in the impossible.

Thank you for the tips, I will try them out.

You didn't mention what kind of filament you are printing. The above advice is good for all filaments, but if you are printing high temp filaments like ABS or ASA then conversation is a different one.

Sorry, I should have said I am using Jessie PLA. Still having some issues, but no more spaghetti, which is very nice.
