    There wasn’t much left and nothing that would collide with it. Seemed to work well enough

    I usually use glue stick but just ran out

      Usually? Like for routine pla prints? I’ve found myself having to do this (man I love magigoo) but the masses say I really shouldn’t have to. Kinda validating if this is actually a thing.

        If you have corners lifting during big prints it’s nearly always due to a bad first layer or warping. An enclosure, even if it has an open lid since PLA doesn’t really like high enclosure temps, would probably do wonders. But if you have an i3 style printer, enclosures can be kind of a PITA. You could also try a draft shield. Basically tell your slicer to print a skirt that’s the same height as the print itself.

          Pla can also warp when not cooled enough. Although with a a decent textured Pei sheets you should never have pla adhesion issues honestly

      Have you tried hairspray? I definitely prefer it as it’s easy to put on and gives nice, even coverage.
