    Novice in need of direction.

    Matter control 1.5

    Printing a flat/thin 6" square box lid. Every attempt has the corners warping up preventing the lid from fitting properly.

    Tried blue masking tape on the bed
    Tried hair spray on the bed
    Tried elmer's glue stick on the bed
    Tried nothing on the bed

    I'm thinking I need to adjust some settings. Currently...
    Extruder Temp = 217 degrees
    Bed Temperature = 50 degrees
    My MEDIUM QUALITY PLA setting has a Z OFFSET of 0.83mm

    Could any of these settings be adjusted to reduce/eliminate PLA warping?
    Anything else I should be checking/adjusting? (see attached)

    Thanks... this forum is awesome.
