Im very new to 3d printing and this is my first time using anything other than pla. So far all of my prints are lifting off the bed at the corners. They start off looking beautiful. No stringing, great adheasion, etc. But after a few layers, they start to come off. Especially on larger prints.

Heres my setup: Ender 3 pro with skr mini e3 v2 Creality Ender 3 glass bed upgrade Bed temp: 90C Extruder temp: 240C Nozzle diameter: .4 Layer height: .2 First layer: .45 Speed: 60mm/s Slicer: Silc3r

I realize that asking this question is like asking WebMD to dianose my sniffles, cause it can literally be anything, but Im hoping someone with more experience can give me some pointers on what works for them. Thanks yall!

    Ahhh, see from my Zortrax printer I learned that PETG benefits from no enclosure - drafts are fine. It actually helps increase print quality. I run my Prusa Mk3s printers with no enclosure (since I only use them for mainly PETG and TPU, and occasionally PLA). I have Zortrax printers for my ABS, ABS/PolyCarbonate Blends, and HIPS plastics (but holy hell I hate the closed software on the Zortrax printers and their Zsuite slicing software - absolute garbage which cripples printers that cost thousands of dollars - I can’t even tweak temperature, fan speeds, flow rates, etc mid-print like literally every other printer I’ve handled over the past decade!).
