borosilicate glass plate holder for flashforge creator - replicator - clones

thingiverse

I needed something to keep the glass I bought from flashforge USA steady on the aluminium bed. After many experiments, I decided to design my own solution. these 4 holders will add pressure on the 4 sides of the plate, keeping it in place during the whole print despite temperature fluctuations. It is also relatively easy to remove the plate and put it back on. For glass plate of strictly same size as the aluminium, just take the first file. There is also versions adapted for smaller glass than aluminium, And a special version made for the PowerSpec 3D, "special raised .25" is the nickname, but we are still improving through successive versions, latest being V5 Instructions You'll need some supports for this, don't worry, just let the software place them, there won't be much and they'll be easy to remove. I used ABS, 3 bottom and top plain layers, 2 side layers, 20% infill. To fix it I used longer screws than the original ones. I'll also order other screws just long enough to use the original ending bolts on them, which resists to temperature variations and wont need regular tightening.
