I'm not too experienced with this, though I have the same model, but wouldn't increasing the temperature lower adhesion? Part of the reason it detaches is the thermal contraction as the bed cools. If you raise the temperature more there's a great delta in expansion and hence more contraction. This does require waiting, which can be annoying though.

I already have to wait with some of the prints only come off If I place them in rhe freezer. It makes good sense though that with higher temperature it will shrink more when cooled. Maybe I should try this. I print at 50c bed temp
You could always try it…
I use PEI instead of glass and find that a thin layer of glue stick works great for helping sticky materials release.
So you use glue to make adhesion worse? That's very interesting!
Adhesion can be better, but it also acts as a release agent. If you are printing PETG on glass always use glue, for PLA it shouldnt be needed.
glue or hairspray
I am in deed printing with Pla but it sticks waaaay too well onto the surface
In my experience PLA just pops off the clean glass when cooled to room temp (holds extremely well if bed is at 45C or more). I have some tips, but only to improve adhesion xD You can maybe try less squish on the first layer (lower flow rate or increase nozzle distance a bit) or just use thin layer of glue. Too low or too high bed temp can ruin bed adhesion, but feels like wrong approach imo, still worth a try
Yup. My kid found the idea hilarious when I explained why I’d swiped a washable glue stick from the arts and crafts box.
It hangs on well, but also makes removal easier.
I use the washable gluesticks for my polycarbonate prints. I just put PC prints under warm water for a few minutes and they pop right off. Gluesticks generally reduce bed adhesion though IME, so it's a fine line to walk; I never use gluesticks with PETG for example because then the parts don't stick to the bed enough.
