4mm Glass Bed Corner Bracket for Flashforge Creator Pro

thingiverse

I bought the Creator Pro earlier this year, as a fifth printer, but my first dual-extruder model since my requirements have expanded. Originally, I had intended to get the Wanhao 4S, but this was just when Amazon stopped shipping large items due to the coronavirus, so I got the Flashforge directly from their website instead. Later, I discovered they both use the Sailfish firmware, making them basically the same thing. All of my printers have glass beds for a shiny base and easy removal using window cleaner. To make this consistent, I purchased a 4mm borosilicate glass plate and needed some way to mount it. The options for mountings I found on Thingiverse didn't quite fit for me, so I designed some in Fusion 360, going through several iterations to get them just right. These corner brackets have slots for fitting using the existing nuts and bolts. Fit them on using those nuts with suitable washers to prevent squishing the plastic. They also have cutouts for the print head to do its priming/wiping thing before it starts printing from the Creator Pro Cura profile I found and have been using. There are lips on the top edge of the brackets to fit glass plates that have had their edges chamfered to 45 degrees, helping keep the plate in place. Best printed oriented vertically with one of the thick edges on the build plate to keep the edges against the glass plate nice and sharp. Let us print this or other things for you!
