I'd 3D print some low profile clips for the glass plate, or (my preference) use high temperature double sided adhesive to secure the glass plate to the print bed.  I initially thought I'd be swapping glass beds between prints, but in practice, I prefer having the glass bed fixed to the printer.

Just print a test object. If the motor misses steps you can hear it. Also, you can adjust the acceleration limit in Cura. I think this is the best place to do it too. In Cura you know what you are printing and can adjust based on the size of the part and if it is very tall or very wide The

I’ll chime in with my 2 bits. One issue is whether the motors have enough torque to actually drive the load at the specified acceleration. You probably knew that. :) Maybe install the plate and strap a small weight to the glass to simulate a large print, and test it. Many of these printers

Greetings all; Several question mark below. Those glass plates for my ender-3 Pro's build plate use have arrived, and I'm somewhat taken aback by the mass of a 230x230mm by 4mm piece of glass. This at least doubles, likely more, the weight the y motor has to manhandle, in my mind affecting
