Ender3 restart retainers

thingiverse

The ender 3 range is promoted as being able to pause and restart prints for overnight or due to power failure. This is true BUT when the table cools down you loose adhesion and your print can move. To solve this I have created a set of straps to maintain part position. Add these straps against your print while still adhered and they will help retain the position for restart. I have printed them in PLA and find that the clips loose their tension as they soften when the table comes back up to temperature. It will be interesting to hear if better results are obtained in other materials. Alternatively retain straps with small bulldog clips. But be aware of the need to pass through the bridge of the machine! I have also created a storage stand to slide in the top rail for easy access.
