Ikea LOTS mirror bed bracket for CR-10 with cable strain relief

thingiverse

Brackets for the CR-10 fit Ikea LOTS mirrors conveniently (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/39151700/) perfectly to the bed so you can swap mirrors out easily, remove them from the bed for cleaning, removing a print or using different mirrors with various adhesion solutions and without needing clips which may bend the mirror down when the aluminum bed warps underneath. After discovering that the stock glass plate comes with the printer is rubbish bent to hell and back I decided to buy Ikea mirrors that people have been using. They are 300 by 300 mm so they fit the CR-10 bed but since they are 10 mm smaller than the actual bed it meant the brackets I originally designed for use with the stock glass plate (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2525325) wouldn't work with mirrors anymore. So I had to alter them to fit the mirrors between them. There is a strain relief for the cable in the left back corner. Parts are best printed in ABS, 0.2mm layer height with supports. Be careful removing the supports so you don't snap the top part off. I printed it with only one wall but 100% infill diagonal lines. I felt it made the top part sturdier that way since the infill lines covered more surface. If the plastic part from the Z stepper motor sticks out a bit you may want to shave it a little. The bed brackets are as thin as they should be thinner and they wouldn't be sturdy enough and should easily pass the frame without slamming into it but the yellow Z stepper bracket stuck out a bit on my printer. Ideally you'd print the regular corner bracket three times but maybe you can get away with only the strain relief and one regular bracket in the diagonally opposing corner. The strain relief has four holes for zip ties. If the cap falls off you can loop the zip tie from underneath around the top. *** PRINTING ON MIRROR *** If you are having difficulties printing on mirror (with PLA) make sure the mirror is clean I recommend cleaning the surface with regular handsoap nothing fancy or aggressive just handsoap rinse with a lot of water. I have also tried special cleaning products because I thought they would make the mirror even cleaner than regular soap but these products seem to leave a trace a thin film a microscopic layer of chemicals which in turn will make the plastic not stick.
