Damage to Bed
When I started a print I hadn't noticed by when it started the probing for bed leveling the wires going to the extruder got wrapped under the wires going to the bed. This caused the bed not to be able to move far enough back for the PINDA probe to hit the spot in the center of the bed. When it didn't find the sensor it drove the nozzle into the bed causing a dimple about 1/2-1mm deep. Would another piece of thicker PEI cover this, or will I just be stuck with a dimple on all of my prints?
Re: Damage to Bed
I think we all have a couple of dimples, despite our best efforts. Most printing is done in the center-if the dimple isn't right in the main area it can be less of an issue. You can sand the surface of the pei sheet using a green dish scrubber to make it less pronounced. Or you can replace the pei sheet altogether.

Yeah. I used a very sharp wood chisel to take off the high point. It is possible for fill the low points with glue stick, but I don't know how long that would last.

Dimples add character. At least that is what my mother used to say. For me, I can either print away from my dimple, or try to center a larger print on the dimple so that it is hidden on the bottom of a print that I won't see. I know that is not always useful, but it will hold me until I need to replace the PEI sheet, and can consider more drastic measures.

I tied the cable run to the steel filament holder to keep it from happening again.

That should not be necessary and indicates that you don't have the cable management correct. I would suggest that you check again with the manual to resolve that issue.

I needed to do this and confirmed the nylon filament is pointing up but there is still slight drag at back of bed.

I had this issue as well, the nylon filament didnt provide enough support for me, so the cable run was rubbing on the bed. In the process of printing this cable chain upgrade for the X axis.
