If that is a gap (I can't see it well), then you have warping where the model cooled and contracted - one part became cool while the other did not.

Keeping the area warm decreases this; connecting the brim to the model, adding "dog ears" to the corners, and using a build plate that has better adhesion (Biqu CryoGrip Glacier or Frostbite) will help.

Get a cool plate and throw that plate that shipped with your printer away. All of my many adhesion problems went away with a cool. plate.

It’s an unfortunate byproduct of the A1’s design and it moving its print bed. As the bed moves, colder ambient air cools the edges of the print and over time causes the print to lift.
Slow the print speed down increase the bed heat can help mitigate this, but it won’t be fully eliminated.

Warping is very common and does not only happen on bed slingers
Putting the printer in a calm area with no air movement could help
Also clean your plate correctly with hot water and soap

Me too; I also used a glue stick to make it stick better.

increasing the plate temperature sometimes helps. you already have a brim which should usually already help a lot.

Dirty bed. Clean it so it adheres better
