some great posts everyone! Thanks for all the input/options.
After heating the stock buildplate to 60C for PLA prints, I still had leveling issues in the front right quadrant. I end up with wavy lines and have to use a raft if printing in the middle of the plate due to this.
I ended up buying a 3/16" sheet and used a 5mm shim along with 2 corner clips. Used the S3D bed leveling without a hitch and printed V2 of this bed leveling design (the one that is positioned above the wingnuts). Long story short, i've never had this great of a first layer before, all without tape. Off to grab some aqua net hairspray tomorrow to see how good it can get.
I'll look into getting a piece of 3mm machined aluminium from a local shop if I can. Would be interested to see the comparison.
