Ender 5 Clips for 4mm Glass bed

thingiverse

Aloha! These clips are modified from Ender 3 glass bed clips by ccrowder5 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3359256, I adapted these clips to have a thicker rear end so they wouldn't snap when slipping them onto the heatbed and glass top. Designed for a 4mm glass, I increased their size and gap to fit an Ender 5 printer bed perfectly. To keep the glass in place, I use six of these clips along with Hairspray on the back of the glass where it meets the heat plate. Since the Ender 5 bed moves up and down very slowly, the clips do a great job of keeping the Glass bed pressed close to the heatbed and level. After numerous heating sessions and prints, the clips are still performing well for me. One problem is with the bed height; you'll need to get a longer Z-axis stop screw as the one supplied to the Z-axis frame is too small to accommodate the new bed height and will hit the nozzle even when the screw springs are fully depressed. As previous creators of the clip recommend, printing in ABS will give a stronger hold, which I plan to do eventually. For now, using Hatchbox PLA at 65c is still holding well for me.
