PLA NOT sticking to glass bed
I installed a glass bed on my Ordbot Hadron
Common window glass over heated aluminum bed
using PLA at Extruder temp 185 - 200
bed temps 40 - 90
Glass cleaned with ammonia cleaner
Bare glass tried hair spray on glass tried
First layer being smooshed into bed
Extruded plastic isn't sticking at all
any suggestions?
tnx

What PLA are you using? Chinese PLA from the likes of RepRaper, Octave, etc have a reputation for being difficult to stick.
After having some issues with my Octave ABS at first, I've got it dialed in to where I'm having a hard time taking it off the build platform now. Still using factory Kapton tape with rips in it and all.
Same with me.
Still using factory Kapton tape on bed and Solidoodle and Octave abs.
And every once in a while I have had to realign my table height after trying to remove super stuck prints even after the bed has cooled down.
The ABS is good, but PLA can be a different matter. Those who are trying it say that once you get it stuck, it works great, and the reduced cost is worth the effort to get it dialed in.
I etched the glass top surface with etching cream.
PLA still won't stick Extruder temp 200 / 185 Bed 75 / 25
Any help?
Tnx

Before the next print wipe the surface with a disolvent, acetona.
I couldn't get PLA to glass unless I set the bed temp to at least that of ABS bed temp.
With zero temperature the PLA sticks nicely to 3M blue tape.
Maybe some hairspray could help !
Blue painters tape or hairspray, or ABS Slurry (ABS Melted into acetone)
assuming you have the correct thermistor table selected, try printing at 175C
