Interchangeable Reliability with Glass Plate
Want a glass surface option for your 3D printer's magnetic base print bed? Check out the Glass Plate for Magnetic Base 9" x 10"! Increase the variety of build surfaces currently available for magnetic print beds to include the classic surface every maker can rely on—the glass plate. When you find yourself missing the shiny, smooth bottom surface achieved through printing on a glass surface, simply take the off the surface currently on the magnetic bed and attach the Glass Plate for Magnetic Base FlexPlate in its place. Because the glass plate is attached to a firm flexplate with high performance transfer adhesive, you end up with a glass flexplate that securely sticks flat against the magnetic bed, removing any chance for bowing around the center of the bed and maintaining consistent heat transfer between the heated print bed and glass plate. Expand your list of reliable, interchangeable build surfaces with the Glass Plate for Magnetic Base.

Questions
Can you just print with this on the Prusa MK3s as if it was a steel sheet? Run the First Layer Calibration and away you go? With a smooth glass bottom?
Will this work with the Prusa i3 MK3S?
Bought this for use with MK3S+, cant get the super pinda to recognize it for first layer calibration. Do I need to do some GCode tweaking to make this work? I spoke to Prusa customer service and they seemed to think it wouldn't work on account of its thickness.
Do you need to so some gcode tweaking to make this work?: yes. However, it's not as simple as just tweaking the gcode. The super pinda is an inductive probe that has a sensing distance of 2mm, which is not far enough to sense the steel sheet under the glass. No amount of gcode will fix that, unfortunately. In order to make this work (which is what I do), is to first to either put a plain steel sheet down, the normal prusa PEI sheet down, or no sheet at all (wouldn't recommend) to do the homing and mesh bed leveling process before the print. Then once the mesh leveling is complete, raise the print head, and swap the sheet you have on the bed with this glass sheet. There are [tutorials] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtP_lmj3Oxw) online for this similar process, which show the gcode and steps you need to take. It is simple once you understand the steps, but be very careful not to crash your print head into the glass. Hope this helps!
