Glass bed

Hello,

is there a way to use the printer with a glass bed? When i tried to put a glass on the printer the PINDA cant detect the points for mesh bed leveling.
I tried it without the PEI :). Glass is 2mm thick.

best regards

Re: Glass bed

Here is a link to a video about printing on glass with the MK2. I think it would also work on the MK3. It uses a starting script that allows for bed leveling before putting the glass down. You also have to load a z-offset for the thickness of your glass in the start script. Please not I have not tried this myself, it is on my todo list.
