Draft Shield Height

Is there any way to limit the height of the draft shield?  I have an object that I am printing in ABS and the same corner always warps.  I have tried 3 different printers and I have an enclosure.  I am not sure why but wanted to try a  blast shield but I do not want it to go all the way to the top.

Sure, turn off skirt, create and add an object that looks like you want the part hieght draft sheild to look like. Or is that too daft?

The draft shield is just the skirt with auto height basically.  Turn off the draft shield option and set the skirt height to the amount of layers you want.

Thanks, I completely forgot about "skirt height". Teach me to post without thinking.

I confirmed it is the filament.  2 ofther ABSs do not do this and this ABS alwars does it in the same corner - not sure why.
