Depression/Ridge in print bed MK2S
I have a new MK2S that I've done less than a dozen prints on.
Today I've printed 5 of the same object. Each is printed one after the other (5 new prints), all at the same location on the bed. After printing the 5th one, I noticed that the bed was no longer flat. It appears to have a kind of imprint of the object. The nozzle definitely isn't scratching the surface and in fact the surface finish of the PEI is just fine. But if I run my finger across the surface, I can feel a slight ridge around the outline of where the object gets printed. Almost as if the area around (outside) of the object is raised.
Any ideas?
Here is a picture of the object:

And a picture of the bed (hard to see the raised ridge area, but best I can get).

Normal, It will magically fix itself. course I try and use other parts of the bed since they don't get as much love as the middle. You could heat it up and let it sit for a bit (30 min-1 hour?) at 80-90c and should disappear.

That's reassuring, thanks.. I'm using the Slic3r PE version from Prusa to generate Gcode, but any time I try to move the item away from the center, it just snaps back.
