When printing a big base on the bed, I got no warping, but once I print small part (3 or less inches wide), there is a bit of warping on my piece as I remove it.

Example print

It is 2 inches wide by 1 mm thick by the base. It seems to be well sticked to the bed while printing, but once removed, it bends a bit. I tried multiple times and it bends at a different place.

I was wondering if it may be thicker if it won't bend at all.

Can you guys help me with it?

Here my Slic3r settings:

As I said, I got no problem adhering to the bed, it's when I remove it from the bed it becomes deformed.

Pla is flexible and can be shaped at temperatures as low as 50 deg C. To prevent deforming your prints in removing them, you should wait for the bed to reach room temperature. This takes about 5 minutes after a print ended.
