Heat Bed Glass Holder

thingiverse

Eliminated the binder clips from my heat bed as an accessory fan shroud I have added would interfere with the glass. These clips work seamlessly with 8" x 8" glass. To get them on, you'll need to remove the springs and knurl screw temporarily. The screws hold the clips in place but don't go through the clip itself. It's probably going to take longer to recalibrate the bed than run the parts. I have a micrometer that I used to measure from the bottom of the aluminum plate to the top of the glass before removing the screws, so everything was pretty close. You might be able to use some tape and wrap it around each corner to maintain the distance held by springs. Then you can remove the screws and springs, place the clip, and re-install the screws and springs while keeping the height distance through installation. I was hesitant to make the top surface too thin since it's low-melt plastic on a heat bed. Here are some additional modifications that might be helpful: Bed Leveling Knobs (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3490247), improved Limit Switch Mounts (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2894364), and Compact z-axis Adjustment (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3490367).
