    Advice on heated bed & surface

    I am brand new to 3D printing, just finished building a Purse i3 clone and I am currently using painters/masking tape on the heated bed. It is a pain because it sticks to the bottom of objects and its hard to remove from the bottom of the object. So I have some questions.
    =

    * I understand that because I am using an auto level sensor I cannot use a glass plate on the bed. So is there anything else that I can use to get PLA to stick instead of painters tape that will not be a pain to remove from a finished print object?


    * If painters tape is the way to go, how do you clean-up the print's bottom to clean off the tape residue? I know acetone will help but may warp the PLA object, is there another way? Sonido de grillos: https://descargartonos.info/sonido-de-grillos.html


    * I have tried printing on the metal bed itself but PLA does not stick (nozzle @210, bed @60).


    Thanks in advance for any advice.
