Mendel I2 glass clip

thingiverse

Use clip to secure glass on hotplate. Frustrated with binder clips consuming valuable build space. Manufactured from PLA, printed with PLA. For optimal performance, print with Nylon or another high-temperature material. Update: After utilizing a set made from PLA for 20 hours, they remain functional and satisfactory. Even after striking some pieces with a scraper to shift the glass, all I had to do was slide it back into position and twist the clips into place. No calibration was necessary. They have warped slightly but still hold the plate firmly in place for high-quality prints. Update 2: After nearly six months of printing, a clip broke. Printed a new set and it is now working flawlessly.

Slic3r seems to function better than Cura for this task. Cura leaves a solid piece that can be drilled out for the bolt to pass through.
