PETG keeps lifting on Bambu A1 smooth plate — what else can I try?

Troubleshooting

Hey all,

Im fairly new to printing and looking for advice. I’m printing a model in PETG on my Bambu A1 with a smooth plate and one corner keeps lifting every single time causing the print to fail. It will print okay till its about 70% done, then one of the corners lifts and ruins the print. I think part of the problem is this is a fairly wide and tall print with not much surface to adhere to.

I have tried.

  • Hair spray
  • Glue stick
  • Slowing first layer
  • Brim
  • Cleaning the plate between prints

Anything else I can try before giving up and just using a textured plate. I wanted the surface to be smooth.
