What's going wrong with my prints? (lemmy.world)

Hey,

Still fairly new to this hobby and have lots of ideas but I've got a snag with a few prints now and was hoping someone could help me work out what I'm doing wrong.

The project is small trays for a custom advent calendar but as you can see the corner on the second picture has lifted massively.

A 3d printed tray in grey with a handle.

This has happened before with a different print too and I never solved that issue either.

Using an Ender 3 Pro with some generic filament from amazon, hot end at 200C (goes stringy any higher), bed was 50C for this print I think.

Any help would be wonderful :)

So my son and I figured out that a few °C higher bed temp combined with cheap hairspray completely fixed out adhesion issues with PLA corners. Good bed leveling while the bed is at temp is crucial. DO NOT DO IT COLD.
