Ultimaker 2 print lifting

Question

Hey guys and gals, this is my first post.

My work has just boughtjavascript:; an Ultimaker 2 3d printer, and it does great work on the small prints. However when I try to print something larger that takes up half the build platform it always warps in one area. I haven't noticed any consistency on where it lifts.

I have messed with some temperature settings on the build plate, and it seemed to help a little. I'm pretty new to 3d printing, and I'm not really sure where to go from here. If I could get some help I would really appreciate it.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.

Hi I've had very good results using Aqua Net hair spray on a glass build plate for PLA and ABS with a build plate temp of 110 deg C. In most cases allow the bed to cool and the build will pop free on its own (You'll hear it when it releases most of the time). Plate cleanup with Windex or like product mixed with 10% to 15% (91% isopropyl alcohol) Thickness and Infill will have an effect on warping too. The closer to solid you get the more pronounced warping will occur. If your item doesn't absolutely need to be solid, try 20% to 35% infill, should help reduce warping noticeably. Hope this helps you out.
