Maximum PINDA Probing thickness.

I am looking into buying Matterhacker's Garolite sheet and sticking it to Wham BAM's bare Steel sheet (along with PEX on the other side) to improve the adhesion of Nylon Filaments and to have another side for PLA and PETG.

My Prusa double sided steel sheet is 1.25mm, each ULTEM sheet is 0.175mm, which means my bare steel sheet is 0.9mm thick.

Wham BAM bare sheet is 0.4mm adding the Garolite (0.9652mm) and a PEX sheet on the other side (0.4mm--same as the steel sheet) makes the sheet thickness a total of 1.7652mm--this means my Frankenstein steel sheet will be 412% thicker than the orginal sheet that comes with the Prusa, but it shouldn't be too big that the magnets can't hold it.

I know the PINDA probe only cares about the thickness of the material between the top layer and the steel sheet though. Is 0.9652mm too thick for the PINDA to detect the steel sheet underneath and perform proper bed leveling? (MH Pulse XE comes with a BL Touch so the thickness of the garolite doesn't matter at all to them)

RE: Maximum PINDA Probing thickness.

Many people use that garolite surface without issue. The PINDA thingie will be just fine.

just a curve ball for ya’, I am looking at the BuildTak nylon+ build surface for nylon printing...

Don’t trust forum advice.
