Repraper PLA Printing on Bare Heated Glass

Has anyone been able to print Repraper PLA on bare heated glass?

I have had sucess with blue tape on a heated bed but have been unable to get the prints to stick on bare glass. The sucessful prints have been with the below settings:

Bed=60, Hotend=210, White Repraper PLA 3mm, Mendel90, with blue tape

your best bet is hair spray,

ideally when it goes on you want it go on clear and stay clear if it goes on frosty white it's no good,
i use a a brand called "cedel" the "extra firm" one comes in a pink spray can, i'm betting it's not available everywhere so i'd get one of two at a time and try them until you find one that goes on clear

I've had very good luck with an elmer's glue glue stick, the kind that goes on purple and clears up as it dries. And it makes less mess than hairspray.

You do need to either moisten it with a paper towel or reapply it before every print or it doesn't stick as well.
