Adjustable Bed Clip

<p><strong>Update January 21, 2021</strong></p><p>Version 1.4: Sturdier structure. Design changed so it holds the screw when adjusting. Removed smaller clip versions.</p><p><i>I recommend printing this in Polycarbonate if possible.</i></p><p><strong>About</strong></p><p>Low profile fully adjustable bed clips originally designed for my QIDI X-Max but they will fit any printer where the bed and build plate have the same size or at least the edges match up. The clips are narrow enough to sit all around the bed without hitting the frame holding the bed (X-Max). It is also useful if you find the build plate isn't held secure by the magnets (if you print something large that tends to warp and pull up the build plate) or if you use a different bed, like a glass bed or PEI sheet for example.</p><p>Very lightweight and easy to print, one set is only about 4 g.</p><p>There are a few different sized clips available so it should be suitable for pretty much all printers. For the QIDI X-Plus and X-Max which has a 9 mm bed you can use the 9-12 mm clip for the original build plate and for beds up to 3 mm thick or the 12-15 mm clip if the bed is thicker than that.</p><p><strong>Print Settings</strong></p><p>For best strength you may want to angle the top parts of the clip in your slicer and use supports when printing since they are so thin. I have angled mine 45 degrees in X.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/59196/rich_content/2674be64-be5b-41f7-baa9-092d644c6a44/skarmavbild_2020-10-05_kl_114821.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22dbebcea7-0ca2-4524-8888-05e08723c725%22%2C%22w%22%3A1481%2C%22h%22%3A890%7D"></figure><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/rC4xJTI77eQ"></oembed></figure>
