Problem with first big print

I have printed two smaller items without problem from my kit mk2s.

I tried my first large print today and it failed by snagging the corner.

What might need adjusted?

Besides of the usual suspects which you can search easily though the forum (z adjustment, extrusion multiplier, first layer calibration, bed cleaning with IPA/acetone/windex, etc), check the bed screws to see if they are properly adjusted. In my case 2 of them came completely loose and started with warping, adhesion problems and other tragedies after a couple of months of use.

It does not look like you do not have a good first layer adhesion, and your first layer is not properly squashed.

Try the Live Z adjust method found here:
