Even if the disk was able to move around in the tray a bit it would not shift inside the printer. The printer has wide rollers that keep pressure on the disk (further inside the printer) so there is absolutely no rotating at all (at least with mine, which I believe should be the same with all). The tray only needs to keep the disk from moving around and is not needed to prevent it from rotating. Of course it is not high enough to catch the print head so it is perfectly safe but if it were a bit more low profile I think the final output would be better than perfect. The only reason is because the rollers press the disk a bit too much so if looked at in the right light you can see the wide tracks on the disk. I am planning on sanding the back side of the sheet metal a bit to get it the total height (with the disk) to be closer to 0.2 cm and not as high. In my current tray the disk sits just above flush of the black layer (so with the disk it is just over 0.2 cm). The black part is just to keep it from moving around. The CD does not need to be flush as long as it is low enough to pass through the printer. I still use the black plastic to make the hole in (then adhere to the metal) as it's much easier to cut than the sheet metal.
PIXMA MG5400 SETUP U1.0 UPDATE
I should update this instructable now as I have found sheetmetal to work much better than the clear plastic show in this instructable. I am not sure of the max thickness but mine is about 0.2 cm total thickness. Please include additional comments below. Was this answer helpful We use your feedback to improve our content.

It needs to be near perfect of you will have a lot of trouble consistently aligning the printer to print correctly on the disk. For most Inkjet printers, the model may be printed on the front, top or near the operational panel (see images below). If it is tight at all just use the razor and shave here and there until it fits- just a little at a time! If it is too loose then you will never get an identical print when printing on the disks. Now try it in the printer so see how it fits. The last pictures show the front and back. Now stick it to the clear plastic and move it around to ensure complete contact. Spray enough to completely coat the back of the black plastic. Spray the black instead of clear because we do not want to dull the shiny foil on the clear piece. Now spray the BACK side of the black plastic so that it can adhere to the clear plastic. The foil is needed because the printer looks for the reflection of light and will reject the tray if it is not present. Spray a bit of adhesive on the clear plastic and adhere two pieces of foil (shiny side up!)- enough that the holes in the black piece are filled with foil. Mark the squares on the clear sheet as we will need to know where to adhere the foil. Now lay the top (black) layer on top of this new plastic piece to see how closely they match. Do not cut any of the inside but do cut all the outside so as to be a perfect rectangle fitting the template. Print out a second template at actual size and slightly adhere it to the cover of the plastic binder.
