Braces for Tevo Tornado with Anycubic build plate

thingiverse

I was blown away by my new Anycubic printer's build plate after purchasing it, and its ability to hold a model in place and release smoothly once cooled really caught my attention. Although I wasn't as impressed with the rest of the printer itself. To take advantage of this impressive feature, I decided to upgrade my other three printers to use an Anycubic build plate as well. The Tevo Tornado was a bit more challenging to adapt due to several reasons, so I designed these custom brackets to securely hold the plate in place while still utilizing the existing levelling processes and integrating the heat bed strain relief into them - a clever design by BoSnap that can be found on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2690520). It works flawlessly, with no movement of the plate whatsoever, and I've successfully completed several 5-day prints with these brackets in place with outstanding results. As always, it's essential to take the time to level the bed accurately for optimal performance. With these plates installed, you can enjoy fantastic prints without needing any adhesives like tape or glue sticks, or messy chemical pastes. The print simply pops off when the plate cools down, and I'm absolutely thrilled with this setup.
