Anyway, that's my experience, anyone else found some good tape?
Yes. For dutch people. The cheapest painters tape from the Gamma works very well. It's 50% wider then the normal blue tape of Ultimaker, and PLA sticks on it just as well. The only disadvantiage is that the tape is less sticky, so it can detach itself from the bed. (you need to tape it around the edges of the bed to keep it down)
But it's really cheap at 2 euro per roll. And because it's wider it is very easy to put on. It's also a bit tougher, so it doesn't scratch as easy. I now find myself replacing tape because it has too many skirts on it, not because it's scratched. Now I just need to figure out the stickiness issue, as you do get a bit more warping with this tape.
