Glass Bed Bracket for Anet A8

thingiverse

This is a simple yet versatile adjustable corner bracket specifically designed for glass plates and compatible with the Anet A8. Version three is generally considered the most suitable choice, offering improved performance in most cases. You have the option to include a hole for an M3 nut, which can enhance durability. Installation: The brackets can be easily slid in and out of position. To secure them in place, I utilize a thumbscrew (typically located under the H-frame). Underneath the H-Frame, 3D printed thumbscrews with M3 nuts are employed; however, it's essential to cut the springs in half to prevent excessive tightness caused by the thumbscrew and bracket combination. Update: March 1st, 2017 A new version of the bracket has been uploaded. This updated design is now stronger and easier to install, allowing for smooth sliding motion in and out of position. Four M3 nuts are required to secure the brackets from underneath, ensuring a stable fit. Additionally, this version boasts universality, making it compatible with more than just the Anet A8. Update: March 3rd, 2017 The bracket has been further reinforced and made even more universal following an instance where it became loose and bent the screws. This update addresses the issue and provides a more robust design. Update: March 4th, 2017 Inspired by the remix from rjhuber, adding M3 nuts was a great idea that I have incorporated into the latest version. However, I still prefer the new design, so both versions will be available for download. Version one has been removed due to inadequate testing, while version two is already usable but recommended to upgrade to the newest model.
