Definitely don't destroy your Flexplate which is great for PLA only evidently. Ug.
I'm researching the inductive probes right now (https://www.amazon.com/Taiss-LJ18A3-8-Z-Normally-inductive-Proximity/dp/B073XC5T7B/) to see which one I need with the 8mm sensing depth. I recently picked up a 310x310 sheet of borosilica glass. I need to trim it so it fits between the screws holding the hot plate.
I think you will need this one... its adjustable from 1-10 mm

The probe that came with the printer is 6-36 volts 4mm distance.
