A8 Glass Bed Corner Holder

thingiverse

I purchased a glass plate for the heated bed of my Anet A8 printer. The heated bed measures 22cm, but the glass is only slightly smaller at 21.5cm. To ensure a secure fit, I designed custom corners to adapt to the glass's dimensions. My design inspiration came from a similar project on Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2122339). At the bottom of each corner, a washer supports the springs that hold the glass in place. I printed the corners using PLA filament since it was my first time attempting to work with ABS. The corners fit snugly around the glass, requiring me to preheat the bed to 75°C before I could carefully insert the glass into position.
