Oh! I should mention that with the frog tape, place it on the diagonal rather that horizontally. Why? It helps reduce print warp/lifting if you are printing boxes or something. I printed a proton pack (yes from Ghostbusters) and it took a lot of trial and error to figure this out.
Masking tape or blue tap is one good try and other is glue but more for PETG i have no issue with most of the PLA i have used.
@Jason hD some trouble again and I measured the bed its definitely cooler around the edges but especially in the front.
This happened when I started this print and ABL was inexplicably turned off. I had to reboot because probing kept failing
After that I wanted to print these again and loaded the next job by accident, but you can see the 1st layer problems, I had to baby step lower it to get the layer to look ok but after a bit they started lifting too much, especially the front ones and I stopped it
Any tips?
It does look like the bed is cold to the front, is there any kind of cool breeze coming across the printer when you are printing? I would check the bed with a thermomoter in different areas, possible to bed may have lost a heat trace
yes front corners are somewhere around 10 ° cooler than the middle but I used an infra red thermometer and I don’t trust it other than to say, that thing is cooler than this thing. i’ll check it with probes next time the printers stopped. I was thinking of putting a scope on the power supply too, might be the source of these little issues and the cold bed if it’s too small and stretched too thin.

Yeah, all of that and if I try to push my first layer speed to much, I get into adhesion problems
