Cannot get print to stick to bed
I can't seem to get the print to stick to the bed. First the right side started to lift during the second layer. Now the left side is starting to lift. I've tried lowering the first layer so it really presses into the bed. This is the result. I've tried raising the temp of the bed to 80 degrees. No help. Not sure how to fix this problem.

Is that a new textured sheet?
I ask because my first five or six attempts at printing PLA on the sheet failed like yours.
It turned out that after having cleaned it thoroughly with IPA before each of those prints, it started to work just fine.
We think it might be because there is a film of some production chemical that has to be cleaned off.
Also - we followed the instructions online and poured a small pool of IPA on the sheet - rather than damping the tissue with IPA. And use a fresh piece of tissue for each clean.
So. Try cleaning it with plenty of IPA a couple of times.
BTW. I might be wrong, but on the picture it looks like the Z is a bit too low.

Can you take a picture at an angle and what type of filament? It looks too low, but I need another photo.

@charles-h13
you were right. I calibrated it to go a little lower on the right side and a little higher on the left. Ran the print again and it stuck to the plate throughout the print.
