    It actually IS possible to print on the plain glass on the other side. Many early machines only had glass as a build plate, so that’s valid - especially with various other materials.

    The black surface does wear out over time, when you need to replace it, a magnetic sheet + PEI build surface is probably what you want to move to. The biggest problem with the black glass plates is that the surface acts like sandpaper; and it can easily destroy a nozzle with just a short swipe across it.

    An Ender 3 v2 with the plate on backwards.

    Just be aware that the plastic shroud tends to disintegrate over time. The MrIscoc firmware for that machine is a huge step up from what comes with it; if that’s your kinda thing. If modding machines isn’t though, don’t ever touch the firmware.
