Well if your just trying to print on bare glass... that is your problem. Bare glass only works for a bit and then it will get dirty and the parts will not stick. You can try cleaning the glass but you're better off using some type of adhesion.
For PLA you can try Kapton Tape, Blue Painters Tape, Hairspray, or even Purple Glue stick.

Kapton tape is just a thin film material (usually yellowish in color) that is applied right to the glass.

You can google "How to apply Kapton Tape" and you'll find several methods.
I use the soapy water method... such as seen in this
Video.
I just put a drop or two of soap on my hands and wet them and then rub it over the glass, lay the tape on the wet glass, and then squeegee it with a credit card.
Over all.... Kalpon tape works well but it can be a pain to deal with at first and is very easy to tear while removing prints. For PLA I'm still a fan of just using Blue painters tape (3M brand) as it's much easier to work with.
