I mentioned broken glass, and, the next day, dropped a screwdriver over the build plate... guess what ?... paper is NOT an efficient protection against falling tools.

I feel miserable. I usually put a cloth on top of the plate to protect it... just not this time.

You hexed yourself by mentioning it. Sorry to hear you broke it, those borasilic plates are expensive.
