I'm trying to get back into 3d pruning after a long hiatus.

I found my old Anycubic Chiron, and thought I'd give it a go. Smaller prints seem fine. But anything longer than an hour. Come off like this. I say that what I mean is I excitedly take the multi hour print off the bed in excitement and for get to look at how it is.

The two longer prints definitely were at least in part still adhered to the print bed despite it being cold.

My next plan is to set a print away and check on it every hour or so and see if one side of the print has warped mid print (so far I've been printing before I go to bed, and only watching the initial couple of layers).

My guess it that the (pla+) filament is warping mid print... Its old I'll admit. But was stored in an airtight container with silica packs, and I dried it out before using. But any of your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

If nothing else already suggested works for you, let your printer bed warm up to temperature and sit for a while (“heat soak”).

If you have auto bed leveling, what can happen is that thermal expansion will change your bed level after the probe has run, so by the time the first layer is printing, calibration is off. Granted, this is less likely with PLA, but like I said, if nothing else works.
