Need help improving adhesion

I am new to 3-d printing, I built this kit and had a successful calibration and 3-4 days of really good prints. All of the sudden I am having adhesion issues. Problem 1 is edges that keep warping/peeling up. Problem 2 is the first layer has issues sticking. This usually only happens on sharp or difficult angles. I have set the layer height using the calibration code found on the forums here and also done the atomic/cold pull with no luck. I also clean the pei regularly with rubbing alcohol. What else can I check?

Hi Simon,

seing all the traces from previous prints, the first thing you have to do is a good cleaning procedure before a new print.

IPA is recommended for that, using 99% if you have. And from time to time, I use some acetone (please use proper ventilation after using it !) which is really efficient.

I'm like Jon Snow, I know nothing.
