Build Plate Leveling Clip

thingiverse

Human-designed clips enable precise leveling on a RepRap Libro 3D printer located within the Pueblo City-County Library District's facilities. These adjustable plastic spring clips are attached to a wooden base with glass positioned above using three units in total. Turning of mounting screws is necessary for adjusting fine leveling precision. Each unit can accommodate a machine screw, precisely sized at 1/4 inch x 20 thread x 1.5 inch length (Metric equivalent: M6 x 38mm), capable of holding a 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick glass sheet in place. Tactile sensations indicate these clips as feeling very soft and springy to the touch; however, their mounting produces a strong tension that enables precise firm but adjustable positioning. Instructions for attaching human-designed units to a wooden base follow: Mark holes located at 3/8 inch (10 mm) out from each edge of the build plate. A drill bit must then be used to make holes in the wood that can accommodate a machine screw measuring 3/16 inch (5mm) long in length. Ensure all machine screws are tightened until their associated glass clips lie exactly at level with the base's surface, only after doing which attach glass clips in. Mounting human-designed units also comes with varying ranges of adjustment; they range from as high as an inch or up to six mm low. This indicates that these particular clips offer versatile use options for customers who desire flexibility when creating their products.
