Anet A6 (and A8) Glass Bed Corner Holders

thingiverse

I appreciated the original heavy-duty design created by thfo (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2045424), but it required modifications to accommodate the Anet A6. I utilize 3mm glass on my hotbed. Below are the alterations and enhancements made: Moved the screw hole to center it for the A6 hotbed and allow it to fit snugly on the edges of the bed. Increased the screw hole size to enable the M3 screw to slide through smoothly. Added a circular slot around the screw hole to keep the bed spring centered in place. (It works best when used with spring washers on the bottom as well:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1895223) Designed a home corner version to prevent the head from hitting the holder when at the home position. I printed it in PLA since my bed never exceeds 60C, but you should use a more heat-resistant filament if you print with ABS or other high-heat filaments. Do not use the full holder on the home corner, as the pre-extrusion occurs directly on the holder. Instead, use the home corner holder for the home corner. If you have any suggestions or improvements, please let me know. EDIT March 27 2017: I have uploaded Version 2 of the home and other corner holder. This version features a larger slot for the springs. I have not printed the new version, so please comment if the slot is too large. EDIT December 14 2017: After feedback from Peroxyde who printed both versions one and two of this thing, I have opted to delete version one since V2 fits better.
