Glass bed corner clips

thingiverse

After numerous failed designs, I've finally created some corner clips that keep a glass bed from shifting without the clip sitting on top of the glass surface itself in a Monoprice 11614 printer (Flashforge Creator Dual knockoff). This design relies on you inserting an M3 nut into each of the tightening wheels you print. I printed mine out of PETg simply because I like the flexibility and high temperatures it can withstand, but ABS would work, and PLA would probably be OK too, as long as you dont print with a very hot bed temp. I printed mine solid as well just for the extra strength...you could probably print it with less plastic, but as I havent' TRIED that, I cannot confirm. I am currently using 2 of these in opposing corners and they hold the glass perfectly still...no need for 4. Also, you may want to print out a spacer to re-zero the Z axis sensor...like this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1332275 NOTE - in this case, I'm using an 1/8" piece of borosilicate glass (Pyrex). If you're using thicker or thinner (neither are recommended) then you will have to adjust the Z spacer as well as perhaps the thickness of the upper lip of the clip. The gap between the upper lip and the bottom may also have to be modified if your bed isn't approx 8mm thick from the top of the bed to the bottom of the circuit board.
