As shown in attached image, when making the brim for sharp turns, one can expand the brim until the brim starts out as smooth, then builds up to the sharp turns. This made it much easier for the brim to adhere to the bed on the turns.

Sorry, I do not completely understand your message, but I do know, that with such a brim, you do not need a separate skirt smiling smiley

The nozzle will be primed with printing the brim.

When the brim started out with sharp turns, the brim would not adhere to the bed on the sharp turns. Attached is the part of the brim with sharp turns.

for corner lifting the old fashioned ways works better,, just add one or two layer thick circles of 10-15mm dia on the corner and after printing u can just clip them off..

The circles gave me the idea to fill in the area of concern with a single layer (see attached). This will allow for a small brim.

The modification in the attachment on the previous comment worked well. A 6 mm brim worked, which was 1/5th of the original brim.
