Tell them to drop the metal sensor and use an Plexiglas 9mm thick with proximity sensor instead. Do this real quick, get a 1/16 sheet of acrylic and sand it, I’ve notice you clip the mirror to a wooden base, ok then clip a thin sheet of 80 grit sanded acrylic and print something small so there is not so much bending, then you can pop the print out by un clipping the acrylic and bending it in different ways. You’ll be amaze… The other thing that would help is doing writing code so you can adjust the Z digitally instead of manually like in the replicator.

Colour me impressed! I did a quick test with a scrap of acrylic, and after a false start (Z was too high) it worked quite well.
At no point during the print did the job appear to let go of the acrylic. Removing it was quite easy as well - it just popped off with gentle prying.
The bottom did lift a little somewhere in the process - placing the object back down on a flat surface, it was 0.5mm up on the edges. (The object is about 50mm long).
