Powder coated bed not working well
I have had problems getting my powder-coated bed to work well. I followed the advice of others and washed it with Dawn, then scruffed the surface a little with a pad. It is working better now, but I am getting some lift-up on the corner of the Batman-logo included on the SD-card. What can I do to solve this problem?

Try adding a brim, I had to increase my bed temps from 60 to 80 for PLA printing.

Thanks for the reply! I have ordered a smooth sheet as it is supposed to work better for PLA. There is also one I can borrow, so will try it after the holidays (perhaps should have done that before ordering one).
I will also try your suggestion. I do like the look the powder coated sheet makes on the bottom of a print.

I have has an issue off and on. It is always a live Z issue or a need to wash the bed for me. I scrub the bed with Dawn and adjust my live Z. It takes time but I get it dialed in and it sticks.
