Corner Bracket glass plate Wanhao i3 Plus

prusaprinters

<p>Update on 4/10/2017: Use the new Corner_Bracket_v2.3.stl file. From much testing and use of my iterations on this bracket, I have found that additional strengthening was needed to prevent the bolts from bending the bracket outward when tightening up against the glass plate. This version has a thicker cross bar and the corners where the bolts are placed now continue down to fully meet the crossbar. I also moved the hole for the M3 bolt to better align with the heat bed (no more carving with a X-Acto knife). I also lowered the height of the retainer clips (holding the glass) as they were interfering with the homing of the extruder tip.This version has all the changes made to date.</p> <p>This remix adapts the design for a Wanhao i3 from Webberen<br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1585718">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1585718</a></p> <p>This one is specifically for a Wanhao i3 Plus (may also work on a Monoprice Maker Select Plus). I found that my built/heat plate and borosilicate glass were both thicker than allowed for in his design. I also had to move the mounting hole for the M3 bolt to match that for a i3 Plus build plate. I made the clips to hold the glass a little longer as I did not have M3 bolts longer that 18mm.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: Duplicator i3 Plus, Maker Select Plus</p> <h3>Category: 3D Printer Parts Summary</h3> <p>Update on 4/10/2017: Use the new Corner_Bracket_v2.3.stl file.

I recommend a raft because the small clips to hold the glass may not stay in place when printing without a raft.</p>
