Switched to a glass bed and have questions

[stewl]

There is a discussion on this top here. It seems like it’s an inductive sensor and it only has a very small detection range which makes it fairly useless for use on a glass bed. It’s a shame as there is very little to beat the flatness of a piece of glass and though Marlin software bed levelling is good it’s no replacement for a flat bed.

A350 - printing on glass

does somebody have experience with replacing the original printbed with a glassbed? I would like to use the autolevel function for the initial leveling. The first print (I leveled manually before) didn’t work. Snapmaker did a autolevelling and on the first point the printhead pushed the glassbed down and I had to do an emergency stop. It seems like the manual leveling was gone and the machine tried to perform an automatic leveling which obviously went into the wrong direction. Any suggestions …
