I started to think that might be the case. I was consistently getting the yellow to adhere but the black was just lifting up in minutes. The yellow was old hatchbox filament, the black was some random cheap “value pack” with no name. The yellow snapped in the middle of a print last night so I put it in the dryer for 6 hours and put it back into the printer and it seems to be working great right now

So I gave it another try with the black filament after doing some additional adjustments and was still getting the same issues. I then swapped to a brighter filament so that I could get a better picture and now it’s laying perfectly flat. I’ll let it continue printing to see if any other issues pop up, but it’s weird that one filament was lifting but an older spool works fine.

I’m working on it right now to try out some of the suggestions people have given me. I’m waiting on a thermometer to come in so I can make sure my printer is giving accurate temps. I’ve had similar issues with the glass as I am with the magnetic, but if I can’t get my current test to work I might try again on glass. Right now I figured out how to get mouse ears on the corners so I’m giving that a shot. I have cleaned it a few times already but maybe I used too high of a percent on the ipa so I’ll try again with a lower percent.

I’m using pla. I know my printer had something about a mesh in the settings but I don’t think I’ve used it, I should read up on it to see if it actually is set up to do that. The brim is what’s actually lifting off.

I’m using pla, I didn’t think about the temps being wrong though. I usually heat it to 200C and 65C respectively. I’ll have to get an external thermometer to check that out

I might also try changing how the print sits on the bed to make it print more like a diamond instead of a square shape, since it’s always one of the back corners that start the lifting. Not actually sure it that would help but who knows

I’ll need to figure out how to make the mouse ears that everyone suggests. I haven’t actually made my own models before and the brim is automatically made with the creality slicer. I tried cura as well but that was doing weird things with the print if I recall so I went back to the creality one. If I can’t figure it out on there, I’ll see if cura gives me more options for that. Thanks for the info
