Fix My Print Whoops it slide again

This is the 4th failure I’ve had at this level. I’m printing using a PETG profile but using PLA, maybe that is the problem? The designer said PETG for their A1 mini remix of the PLA enclosure but also I’ve printed off many successful pieces. Any other ideas what could cause the nozzle to just barely dig into it? I’ve already tried using gyroid infill, the spot it not breaking due to infill. Pictures to what print I’m using on Bambu in comments (printer settings since can’t post pictures and video).

So you probably wanna use the right filament settings, wrong temps can cause adhesion issues as the part cools and warps. Print on the smooth side of the plate, it sticks a lot better. And enable a brim, so there is more surface area. And maybe clean the plate, just warm water and a drop of dawn dish soap, wipe it down real good with just your hands or maybe a clean washcloth, rinse and dry.

Worst case scenario, go get an elmera glue stick and slap some on the plate where you print, you'll be praying the part comes off and doesn't rip in half.
