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.

New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
