Corner warp/lifting

I have an object that has eight 90 degree corners. The same corner keeps lifting. I have cleaned and cleaned again. I have even flipped the plate over but the same corner keeps lifting. Is it possible the heat bed is not the right temp at that particular spot? I have an MK3s using PTEG at 230/85 deg C

Help!

RE: Corner warp/lifting

Put a brim around the model, or as it only seems to be one corner, put a Mickey Mouse ear on that corner:

* In PrusaSlicer, right click, select "Add Shape", and pick Cylinder.

* Select the cylinder to resize it. Under "Object Manipulation", click the padlock so you can change dimensions independently. Enter the desired diameter in X and Y, and set Z to your first layer height.

* Move the circle to a corner of your model so that a quarter of it overlaps, creating a "Mickey Mouse" ear.

* Rinse and repeat at the other corners of needed.

* I've seen recipes for modifying the ears' infill and removing top and bottom layers, but in my hands they seem to do the job just fine the way they are created by default.

My pleasure. Given good live z calibration a brim/ears usually do the job. Occasionally I use Layerneer Bed Weld, for obstinate cases.

You can also try a little hair spray.
