Heated Bed Clips

thingiverse

You need specialized clamps to tightly fasten a heated printing platform onto a larger i3XL RepRap 3D printer frame, ensuring stable layers despite uneven sizes.\nThe base of your large format i3XL 3D printer measures precisely 12 inches in width and 9 inches in length (305 mm by 228.5mm). However, the larger MakerFarm heated platform stretches across a considerable space of 12.6" x 8.4" or 320x214.5 mm.\nThe standard glass sheets, typically made from 1/8-inch thick borosilicate material available through reputable online suppliers like McMaster-Carr under part #8476K84, generally measure 12 inches wide and 8 inches in length (305 by 203 mm). On the other hand, you can expect to have an insulation cork sheet that exactly matches your 3D printer's base measurements - 12 x 9 inches.\nUsing the recommended four 4mm countersunk metal screws, measuring at a total of half-inch long should give adequate results for screwing everything into place securely.\nIf your slicer tool fails to produce duplicate design results upon each successive iteration of your build job you'll likely require four distinct clamp sets designed especially for fastening the printing bed firmly in every corner.
