Printing PLA without Heating Heatbed
My MK3S has a "birth defect" and its hotbed doesn't work properly. While I wait for Prusa to send me a replacement, I'd like to print what I can. Any tips about printing PLA without heating the heatbed would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just keep hands and fingers away from the bed. Oils and PLA do not mix and if they do, parts will fall off during printing.
Soap (dawn dish detergent) and hot water work best to clean the PEI sheet. If you have a powder coated sheet, water isn't recommended (Prusa says it can cause problems) but a few have said it was the only way to get PLA to stick reliably.

Use raft and glue stick. It should stick.
