- don't heat the bed for PLA !!
- i used to cover the bed with kapton tape and it was a simple and effective sollution for small objects, just had to clean the tape with aceton every few prints
- but kapton was not enough to prevent warping of the biggest objects, so I am using Pritt Universal glue which is applied to the glass and smeared with an old credit card
- I also have a strong 80mm fan blowing across the bed, which I think is crucial to prevent warping
So for PLA don't heat the bed, apply glue and adequate cooling. Read more about PLA and warping in this thread
