YAHexagonalHeatedBedHolder - "mind the solder joints" version

thingiverse

This is Yet Another Hexagonal Heated Bed Holder, but with a twist: I've designed it keeping in mind that some versions of the hexagonal heated bed available on the web have the solder plates near the mounting holes or need soldered components to be placed in the middle of the sides, making other mounts unusable. This version uses the free holes at the vertices to keep the bed in place; on top of these holes a triangle holds the glass in place as well. You'll need to print the following pieces: 4x Glass Holders 4x Bed Holders (choose between the M3x15 and M3x20 versions) And you'll need the following parts to fix the supports to the aluminium beams: 4x M3x15 / M3x20 screws 4x M3 screws (any reasonably short length) 4x M3 bolts 4x Slightly larger washers to avoid the bolts sliding out of aluminium beams. See the post-printing section for more instructions. Post-Printing Assemble the pieces Push an M3 bolt in its slot under the bed holder. Push the M3x15/M3x20 screw in the wider hole of the bed holder. If you chose the M3x20 version, push the screw through the slimmer squared piece as well - it has been separated from the upper plate only to simplify printing. Slide the washer and bolt on the screw. The final assembly should look like this: Mount the bed Slide the supports inside the aluminium beams and screw the triangle-shaped glass holders in the smaller holes (the ones with the bolt on the underside), through the bed holes.
