glass clips qidi- long

thingiverse

I got fed up with clips coming loose after a few prints due to heat, causing the glass bed to shift around every time. I tried multiple designs, but each one had the same problem. So, I decided to merge my knowledge and various styles from different makers to create these custom clips. They fit my Qidi 6x9 bed perfectly and have been working flawlessly for a week without any looseness. The main design was inspired by ChrisX35's creation on Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1596076), which I modified and elongated, similar to some other clip designs for different printers. These clips should work well after my previous struggles with wasted plastic from inferior designs. I'd like to thank all the makers who have designed Qidi glass clips; I've incorporated elements from each of their designs into these custom clips. As a side note, my glass bed is precisely 6x9 inches. If you have a smaller bed, you may need to extend the overlaps or make the clips taller to accommodate 1/4-inch glass like mine (which is 1/8 inch). To attach the sides, I use small computer screws and the holes in the corners, which also serve as mounting points for the bed screws.
