Warping happens when a print cools unevenly and the corners curl up. Try these:
- Clean the bed and check the first layer (see the first layer checklist in Beginners’ Corner).
- Use a brim, or mouse ears on sharp corners.
- Keep draughts away. An enclosure or even a cardboard box around the printer helps a lot for ABS, ASA and sometimes PETG.
- Raise the bed temperature a little, and keep the part cooling fan low or off for materials that warp.
- Avoid large flat shapes with sharp corners where you can. Rounded corners warp less.
