What you see is called "warping", there are different ways to counter it, but it happens because the plastic is shrinking. (and the first layer shrinks while the next one is put on top)
One option would be a heated bed. Another is changing your model so it has less tension in the first layers. Another trick is to add small round pads which stick to the bed, like this:
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
