i really like using painters tape (the blue stuff), it works great and can be used for multiple prints (important to me because i am lazy)
if your having issues with your print being very hard to remove from the build surface, i do not recommend using a skirt (as they will never come off) i would suggest a brim instead, has the same general advantages but is more likely to come off with the print.
also i found even the default 205 was to high for PLA (caused excessive stringing), i think the need for high temps is because of a poor thermister design, i would recomend using thermal paste to get better temp readings see here for more info on that: Whats wrong with this picture - printre hot ends - #20 by Hauke
also E step calibration has to be done using USB connection (console commands over wifi do not work) but this is pretty important. as most users (myself included) found the steps/mm was off by about 10%
