Straight 3D print curves on table?

Hello all,

Yesterday I started using my MK2s for the first time. After some small prints I decided to print a new spoolholder:

During the print the filament jammed up, where the feeder was pulling it thight but the spool did not move. I managed to pause the print and reload the filament but then I noticed that the print came loose from the bed at both ends and it looked curved. It is hard to imagine that this is due to the filament jamming up, but I am no expert.

What else can cause this? I print with PLA (generic PLA setting) at 210c on a bed with 35c at normal quality and 30% infill. The PLA is of the REAL brand (Dutch).

Thanks for the help in advance.

Clean the bed with alcohol and turn the bed temp up to 50 or 55 C. I wouldn't think a poorly fed filament could cause that.

Thanks for your reply. Already cleaned the bed with 99,9 IPA, but will try with the higher temperature. Thanks for the advice.

Also have look at below thread:

If your live-z is properly set PLA should stick really good to the bed.
