Anet A6 (and A8) Glass Bed Corner Holders

thingiverse

I liked the original heavy duty design made by thfo (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2045424), but it needed to be tweaked for the Anet A6. FYI I use 3mm glass on my hotbed. Below are the changes and improvements made: Moved the screw hole to center it for the A6 hotbed and allow it to be tight on the edges of the bed. Increased the screw hole size to allow the M3 screw to slide through. Added a circular slot around the screw hole to keep the bed spring centered. (Best when used with spring washers on the bottom as well:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1895223) Created a home corner version to avoid the head hitting when at the home position. I printed it in PLA since my bed never goes over 60C, but you should use a more heat resistant filament if you print in ABS, or other high heat filament. Do NOT use the full holder on the home corner, the pre-extrusion happens directly on the holder. Use the home corner holder for the home corner. If you have any suggestions, or improvements, let me know. EDIT March 27 2017: I have uploaded Version 2 of the home and other corner holder. This version has a larger slot for the springs. I have not printed the new version so please comment if the slot is too large. EDIT December 14 2017: After feedback from Peroxyde who printed both version 1 and 2 of this thing I have opted to delete version 1 since V2 fits best.
