PLA Tips and tricks
PLA is definitely the easiest filament to print with that's why it is so popular. Under extrusion can happed with both too hot or too cold temps causing gaps in your print. Your temp tower is your friend, best print it again when you find under extrusion.

PLA has very little warpage therefore the need for a Brim is not always there, but should you have very small contact area with your bed its always best to use a brim to prevent your print from coming loose from the board.
General printer fault finding
1. Do your PID Tuning
PID Tuning might be the most overlooked calibration that very few people talk about and yet it is the most important as it calibrates the heart of the 3D printer, your hotend. Why does my printer only print PLA above 230, why does random layer gaps form at any time of a print, why does my hotend temperature fluctuate during a print? All these are indications that your PID needs tuning. Here is an incredibly helpfull video to assist you in doing your PID calibration in minutes. 
2. Calibrate your E-Steps
Download this temp tower GCODE and find your perfect printing temperature for your printer and filament or setup your own for your unique printer. SA Filament PLA has a wide printing temperature and should be able to printable anywhere from 190 to 240 degrees.
