You got the size exactly right. No filing or anything, exactly the size of the aluminium plate so it slotted into the existing corners.
I need to pair the top off the corners as they are slightly proud of the bed.
Not tried it yet, other things on my plate right now.

Hmm, tried it today and I am going to have to do some serious mods to use it. The expansion rate of the platform seems to be very high, much higher than the aluminium bed and because I have it held in by brackets at the corners the only place it can expand is upwards so I end up with a convex build plate with the middle about 3 mm high. This is really effective and sanding the end off the nozzles.
What it did print stuck well and more importantly came off easily it just didn't resemble the thing I gave it very much and at a set of nozzles per print it probably isn't really viable.
I shall peruse this and have another go when time permits but for now it's back to polycarbonate.
Grateful for it but gese am I glad I didn't buy one.

So I modded the printer to take the plate. Printed fine, no problem or warping, stuck well.
It stuck so well that I snapped it in two trying to get the print off.
I have peeled the diamond black top off the broken acrylic and stuck it to the polycarbonate that I normally use, I can't physically break that no matter how hard things are stuck so maybe it will be OK.

i am glad to hear you did not give up on it lol.
maybe instead of acrylic i should be using polycarbonate.
if you are interested i would happily make you a polycarbonate version just for you to try
apologies on late posting of other build plates. i can confirm that
jetfish and soofle616 build plates have been sent friday.
