I’m hoping you guys can help me figure this out. I have an ender 3 pro, running on marlin firmware.
Every time I try to print something one of the corners will lift up like that and ruin the entire print. I installed a crtouch to help with leveling, installed upgraded metal bed wheels to help it not fall out of level. Even tried a glass bed with glue and it still does the same thing. I used a filament dryer and have a heat enclosure.
I’m starting to run out of ideas on how to fix this. Any suggestions? The pic is how it starts and that was just a brim since I used to always use a raft and thought I should try that instead.

I’ll need to figure out how to make the mouse ears that everyone suggests. I haven’t actually made my own models before and the brim is automatically made with the creality slicer. I tried cura as well but that was doing weird things with the print if I recall so I went back to the creality one. If I can’t figure it out on there, I’ll see if cura gives me more options for that. Thanks for the info
Find an stl of a disk and then overlap it with your part
Makes sense, I’ll try that out. Thanks!
The creality slicer also has a brim option called mouse ears, but I haven’t tried it out myself, so not sure how well it works. Also, there is an option to bring in basic shapes that you can then adjust the size of within the slicer too. That way you don’t have to find an stl of a disk, you can just bring in a basic shape in the slicer if you’d prefer
