Issue printing Prusa demo

Hi!

Brand new Mk3S kit. Building went ok, as well as tests, calibration, and first layer (it seems). So I started to print the Prusa model (last one on the SD card). It started smoothly, but after a few layers (seems like 8-10), it went south... It looks like the model slipped from the sheet (textured one). Also, as you can see in the pictures, it seems lightly bent upward at the edges, which would be coherent with the model not keeping attached to the sheet.

What did I do wrong or how to tune this?

Thanks!

This looks like a first layer problem, there are many threads on here with similar issues, take a look at:

https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting/what-issue-does-this-look-like-how-can-i-fix-1-75mm-pla/#post-341503

The third post will look familiar.

If this doesn't help post a picture of you first layer/bottom of the part.

Cheerio,

Thanks a lot! Since then I've read more on the forums, and found the thread "Life Adjust 'Z' My Way". I'm using it now to find the right setting... That's gonna be long it seems, but I now have a much better understanding of what I'm looking for.

Thanks again!
