Not sure how to solve this. But the pictures could explain what is happening.

Is that ABS? Unless you need the strength, I recommend printing big decorative pieces out of PLA to save yourself the headache of warping.

Abs likes to crack and warp unless temps can be held high. Build an enclosure that holds in the heat. What is your nozzle temp? I keep mine 235-240 which helps

I used ABS. I'm trying to print with PLA now instead for larger pieces. I believe that was printed at 225.
