    Looks like he fabbed a metal sheet to use in its place. If you don't need heated bed...

    Its just a $23 piece of 1.25mm 3003 aluminum with magnets attached to hold me over while my heated bed is re-heatenabled. I couldn't find anything prefab in the right size but there are lots of cheap metal shops and one was close so even ground shipping was 1 day :)

    I'm assuming a heater element and thermistor could be attached to the base of that for an aluminum heated bed ;)
