Ender 5 Glass Bed Corner Retainers (Not using paperclips anymore!)

thingiverse

I needed something more durable than paperclips to hold my Ender 5's glass bed in place, so I created these custom retainers using Sketchup and printing them out. Initially, I had measured the length at .255, but later adjusted it to .265 (6.75mm) to compensate for a slight undersizing during the bridging and supporting processes. To prevent overhangs from sagging, I used Ultimaker Cura 4.0 to slice the design and selected "support everywhere" as my setting. Although the build quality hasn't been flawless for me so far, the retainers have functioned exceptionally well. The tops extend .0625 above the glass bed in total but only slightly protrude onto it.
