Wow!
I'd have never guessed it'd make such a huge difference, thanks for the photo.

glass, is it essential?
Since you brought up glass, I noticed the local library's Cube never produces curled bottoms, and they have glass platforms. I've used various on my platform and may get good adhesion for, at best, a few weeks, but they seem to all eventually curl. I hate to keep throwing money at this but do you feel glass is essential for adhesion/no curling? Thanks for any advice/info/opinion you may offer.

Are we talking ABS?.... In my limited experience, I wouldn't say glass is essential, I read many success stories with other materials.
It does however work very well for me. All I use is plain old extra hold hairspray on my glass. I can get about 4-6 prints before I need to clean it off and re-apply. I think there are 2 benefits from using glass (probably more), the first is flatness, and the second is after the glass cools, the prints just 'fall' off.

Original surface on Flashforge worked great for 6 weeks, with short objects. Tall objects, no joy. Put a new one on, same thing send by the vendor, didn't work. Next up, Zebra mat, no joy. Hairspray, no joy. Even superglued rising edge, no joy. Anything taller than 3/4 inch curls. Anything under is fine.
Local library uses a Cube with glass, never a problem.

Curled object eventually rises enough that the extruder hits it and knocks it off the platform. Though curling alone a problem on this accuracy matters print.
