Is the print lifting? It looks like it in the photo, but perhaps it’s just a fillet at the underside (which would print better if the design was changed to a chamfer anyway). If the print detaches from the plate (more likely with a wide print like in the photo), then all further printing would be affected.
It does not appear as if there is glue on the plate, but perhaps that is just the photo. Below is some glue help that I have posted a few times previously…
CanDo:
If the photo shows that the part at the top has moved (i.e. detached from the plate), then to prevent this again:
Wash the plate gently with warm water and dishwashing detergent (don’t scour it as that will damage the surface and wear the coating out prematurely).
Dry the plate with a clean dish cloth or paper towel, but don’t touch the surface.
Apply some glue all across the entire bed, systematically in even rows. Make sure to apply glue to the right rear where the purge line is printed and to the front where the automatic Flow Dynamics Calibration patterns are printed.
Avoid touching the surface of the plate when removing the printed parts(s), the prime line at the rear and the lines at the front if automatic Flow Dynamics Calibration was enabled.
The glue stops the part detaching during printing, and also acts as a release agent to make it easier to remove the print when it has cooled after printing.
Glue can last for many, many prints and a small bottle may last months. Moving parts around the plate from one print to another will lengthen the time until the next wash and glue application are needed.
Printing leaves a pattern so it’s easy to see where there’s still an unused glue area.
Many prints can nonetheless be done in the same area without having to reapply - the glue is not “used up” in one print.
If a large print or tiny prints without a brim are being attempted, it may be best to reapply glue before any signs of lifting or detachment.
Liquid glue is easier to apply and less messy than glue sticks, and the layer is thinner and more consistent.
