I received the kit; I've always struggled with warping when printing. The technique works very well, but the bottom of the print isn't flat.

Hi Martin, I'm glad everything worked out. If your print is warping, it's usually due to a problem with the printer or the filament. I added a brim to the print profile that should improve adhesion. Also, try cleaning the print bed with isopropyl alcohol or dish soap, and if that doesn’t help, you can try increasing the print bed temperature. Would you mind telling me which printer model you’re using?
