I am planning to go glass with buildtek on top.
Glass should be pretty flat.
I can swap it out and keep printing.

Questions I have:
Is there temperature different on top and bottom of the glass. ie heating bed to 60C will only get 50C on top.
How much longer does it take to heat the bed?
My printer bed move on Y axis. Heavier bed will slow it down a bit.
