TO INSTALL GLASS WITH CLIPS, INSERT THE GLASS INTO THE FRONT CLIPS FIRST AND THEN SECURE IT FROM THE BACKSIDE. ENSURE THE FRONT CLIPS SLIGHTLY OVERLAP THE GLASS PLATE TO ACHIEVE A PROPER FIT. THINK OF IT LIKE PUTTING A BATTERY COVER ON A REMOTE CONTROL, JUST SLIDE IT IN UNDER THE TAB AND IT SHOULD DROP INTO PLACE WITH A LIGHT PRESS DOWNWARD ON THE BACK CORNERS. THE GO-3DPRINT.COM BRAND BOROSILICATE GLASS OFFERS A WONDERFUL UPGRADE OPTION. HOWEVER, THE GLASS PLATE IS SIGHTLY THICKER THAN OTHER GLASSES ON THE MARKET. I DESIGNED THESE CLIPS TO ENSURE THE 3MM THICK GLASS IS LEVEL WITH OR EVEN HIGHER THAN THE CORNER CLIPS IN KEY AREAS, PREVENTING ANY DAMAGE TO THE NOZZLE DURING HOMING PROCEDURES AND PURGING. KEEP IN MIND THAT I ALSO MODIFIED MY BED SPRINGS BY CUTTING THEM IN HALF USING A PAIR OF BOLT CUTTERS AND ADDING A WASHER TO THE BOTTOM. THIS PREVENTS SCRATCHES ON THE BED FRAME WHILE MAINTAINING THE SAME SPRING TENSION AND ENSURING SAFE PRINTING. INSTALLATION WAS MADE EASY WITH A GOOD CLEAN FRESH RAG, ACETONE, AND A SMALL HAND-SIZED PAIR OF BOLT CUTTERS TO REMOVE THE BLUE BUILD STICKER AND GLUE. THE CLIPS CAN BE SECURED WITHOUT CHANGING ANY OFFSETS OR ENCOUNTERING DIFFICULTIES. THE 4-PIECE MODEL SET PROVIDES VISUAL IDENTIFICATION FOR PROPER PLACEMENT, BUT IT COULD ALSO WORK AS A PRINT FOR THOSE WHO PREFER A MORE VISIBLE GUIDE.
