Two manuals: Excellent bonding of PLA to glass + Improved atomic method to clean nozzle

· Two manuals: Excellent bonding of PLA to glass + Improved atomic method to clean nozzle
I was having persistent problems with PLA warping and pulling off the print bed when printing large parts. I tried (individually, and in combinations):
- raising nozzle temperature
- raising print bed temperature
- slow first print layer
- thicker first print layer
- disable fans for several layers
- glue stick
- releveling print bed
- clean print bed with rubbing alcohol
But I couldn't get a perfect result without any warping. Until now. Geert's salt method works amazing. Using it, I can drop the nozzle and print bed temperatures back to normal - which also improves print quality. I used it on a 9 hour print (that I had previously repeatedly aborted and restarted due to warping), and it printed flawlessly.
Thanks Geert.

We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
