Magnetic Glass Bed Clips - Wanhao D6 / Monoprice Ultimate

thingiverse

These highly customizable bed clips are specifically designed for the Wanhao Duplicator 6 and Monoprice Maker Ultimate 3D printers. The bottom piece securely attaches to the printer's bed using 3mmx6mm machine screws, which require longer ones than the original screws due to customization options. The default settings work perfectly with 3mmx8mm screws accompanied by the original cardboard washer. An important edit was made on February 6th, 2018: a configuration file error was noticed in the section generating the magnet holder wall thickness. This mistake resulted in a wall that was only half the desired thickness due to missing multiplication by two. This issue has been resolved in the current versions of both SCAD and STL files. These innovative bed clips effectively hold down glass print beds and thermal materials, even with bulky fan ducts, while allowing for easy removal. They also self-align and can be placed on either 2 or 4 corners. The default settings in the config file are tailored for 5/16" x 5/64" neodymium rare earth magnets from Harbor Freight (item number 67488). The uploaded STL files also use these settings, with a total bed thickness of 9.5mm, consisting of the stock metal build plate, a 0.5mm thermal pad, and a 3mm borosilicate glass sheet. To print a complete set, all three SCAD files are necessary, and customization should be done in the clips-config.scad file. Print settings do not significantly impact performance; however, lower layer heights can produce a more precise fit for the magnets.
