Up Mini Heat Bed Support

thingiverse

These parts replace the single "L" shaped support piece on the underside of the heatbed that connects it to the metal frame. The problem with the original design is that it is fixed, while the outside of the bed is spring loaded, often resulting in a non level print bed. Instructions The parts are designed as a direct replacement using the same hole centres/sizes as the existing part. It is however, a good idea to grind/file down the screws so that they don't protrude through either part (as this may restrict movement depending on the thickness of the printbed used). The male part is designed to be a snug fit, but not tight. The female part is fixed to the frame while the male fixes to the heat bed. Once the print board is fitted it allows the centre of the bed to rise or fall to match the external edges, while still being fixed laterally and more importantly, remain flat. There are two male parts included, one for use on the standard perf board setup, while the second ("Male- Adjustable") is for use on this floating/adjustable bed mod:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1690155 If you are using this with the an unmodified bed setup, take care when inserting or removing the perf board as the heat bed may move until the perf board pushes the heatbed down and locks it into place.
