swapping to glass bed

[stevendm]

I didn't remove the aluminum bed. I went to thingiverse and printed some corner clips that holds the new glass bed on top of the built-in aluminum one. Look at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:546851 and http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:427689.

How does the z-axis shim get installed. Not clear from picture? what is that paperclip in the foreground for?

Do you know if this fix will work on other models like creator PRO?

When adding a glass plate, is it necessary to do some other settings to account for the loss of the added Z height? Or is there a sensor in the extruder module that will sense this?
