Some prints popping lose from print bed before completion

It has happened using the Prusa PLA that came with the kit. Of course, once it happens, the print is quickly ruined.

How to prevent it from happening? I do clean the print bed with IPA (and let it dry off) before starting a new print.

which slicer? you can try any of these which are available in any slicer

-double check your live-Z/nozzle clearance. the manual has a handy visual guide of what that should look like
-slow down first layer, try 50% of your print speed
-make your first layer hotter, try 5-10 extra
-make your first layer wider and taller
-turn off first layer fan, if it isn't already
-use a skirt/brim (zero offset, touching the part) with several loops

Clean your bed with a mild soap solution and water, then you can use IPA.
IPA is good against greasy surfaces but not surfaces with water-soluble dirt.

Using a brim solved this problem for me. 🙂
