WORK IN PROGRESS ***thingiverse isn't updating the zip file properly. Be sure to download the file Rear _lower_base v2_longer.stl , as its not yet included in the zip. The one included in the zip will not fit properly. This mod allows you to easily use and interchange 8x10 picture frame glass as a bed surface. I would recommend printing using ABS or PETG, however the rear base hat and upper base can be printed with pla as they don't have much contact with the bed. Front Glass Guide = Mounts to the front of the heated bed Rear Lower and Upper Base = Glue together and mount on the rear of the heated bed Rear Base Hat = Use M2 screws to hold the hinge together with the upper base hinge. Glue some felt pads to the inside of this part. This will help to hold the glass in place once it is clamped down. Rubber bands can be used on the outer nubs/ears to hold it together. Once again this isn't perfect yet. I'm still working out some of the kinks. KINKS AND FEATURES YET TO COME: -Front and rear clearances with the extruder -Better clamping method -LED edge lit glass light
