Try a PEI bed. I just got an official creality bed on Amazon for $20 US.
Someone else mentioned a G10 printing surface. Any idea what's better for PLA? Or what's the difference between the two?
Not familiar with G10, but my PEI sheet has been the best thing for adherence with PLA I've used in the last 5 years. I've used hairspray, glue sticks, blue tape, glass, and combinations of them. Straight PEI is still better than all of them, for me anyway.
From what I read before I bought mine, smooth PEI works great for PLA, while the textured PEI is better for ABS and other types that have larger adherence issues.
