You can use anything you want as a carrier, but the top surface of
the PCB MUST be grounded while the print is being made. If you use a
non-conductive carrier you can use copper foil tape and a grounding
clip that disconnects before reaching the drum. Metal seems easier to
me, but ...?
The drum does not seem to be that fragile. I do lightly file the
other three edges of the pcb.
