• What do you use to block the Z sensor?
Add a shim the thickness of your glass under the z sensor, lots of these can be downloaded from thingiverse or you could just improvise something.
• Do you have to re-level every time you remove the glass from the .5mm thermal padding and install another?
I don't, but I have noticed that the orientation I install the glass in matters--presumably this means my glass isn't even thickness.
Thanks!
