Spring loaded bracket for glass plate

thingiverse

These brackets are made and modeled on a 3 mm glass bed. I had a lot of issues regarding the bed which was moving due to the thermal expansion of the aluminum underneath, so any calibration was impossible. Standard brackets are great for PLA, but if you mostly print ABS like me they are totally useless. Moreover, the knobs after just an hour of printing were totally untightened because of the heat. I made these spring loaded brackets that should keep the glass bed from moving away and (in theory) should not have any calibration issues. So far I'm pleased with the result. My suggestion is to print with ABS; make two of them and on the opposite corner put a standard bracket. Made for a FF creator pro but should be OK for any bed that has corner screws; the spring used is a standard pen spring (3mmx18mm). Cheers
