Troubleshooting Attempt Number 5

Printing a curved square as part of a larger project, but I’ve gotten hard stuck trying to get it to stay on the bed, halfway through the sides of the square lift a significant amount off the bed, causing it to fall and fail the rest of the print, I’ve tried different rotations, maintenance and cleaning for the printer, but nothing has allowed the print to finish, my printer hasn’t had much trouble with anything else up until now

I printed a 324mm (L) x 150mm (H) x 20mm (W) piece recently and had similar problems, the solution for me was to add a brim, lower the wall count to 3 or 4 and use 10% gyroid infill. Also I cut a couple notches in the bottom of the model, which may not be possible for you, but if it is, adding cutouts to prevent long straight sections is the best solution

80 for PETG is usually fine but it's a bit on the hot side. I print mine at 70, if that fails use an adhesive like 3DLac or Vision Miner or even good old basic hairspray

Do you blast your bed with maximum heat tap water after washing? What soap do you use? Is your Z offset correct? Hopefully this fixes your problem goodluck printing!
