I don't want to scratch the glass or I would.

This is a glass bed on an Ender that I am doing this on. I haven't had any issues with scratching the bed whatsoever. Mild steel is actually softer than glass so it might actually be harder to scratch than you might think. Your mileage may vary though.

FWIW I exclusively use PLA and don't have experience with any other materials.
