There you will also find more about the printing technique shown in this video (of course there is no need for a donation to get all content).

Some conventional solutions to fight warping are:
Add "Mouse ears" in the CAD model and select the "Brim", "Skirt" or "Raft" options in the slicing software. With that classic approach the LK5Pro can print the objects shown in this video without coming loose from the print bed. However I did not choose these options in order to demonstrate that printing in non horizontal layers has indeed an effect on warping.
