Mingda D2 Heatbed Wire clip

thingiverse

--- +++ UPDATE +++ --- I did notice a minor but significant enough warp to cause me enough concern to replace this part printed as mentioned below in PLA with another printed in ABS. Additionally I used 25mm Countersunk M4 screws and a nut for each to secure this i replacement with the (6 or 10mm?) M4 stock screws that came with the original stock part they sent. Much stronger. ------------------------------- Recently I bought a Mingda D2 off Amazon. This was the result of taking what they already shipped with and using existing screws that are just below the heatbed magnetic plate and tapping an M4 thread into the part once printed. So far I've not heated the bed up to 100°C, but I imagine a stronger part given those temps might be to go with PETG or ABS. As I didn't have that on hand at the time, I went with PLA which for my 50°C temps on my bed has sufficed. (*Though, do so at your own risk— I'm not wanting to suggest you do so, I just said it worked for me; results from different machines and PLA filaments may differ- as long term usage might as well) I printed this in Polymaker PolyTerra PLA orange using 1.75mm Filament at around 32mm/sec and at a layer height of 0.3mm. I used M4 countersunk screws and went with a slightly longer as I tapped in longer holes anyway. I might eventually (unless someone remixes this) use this to mix it up to use a custom or store bought drag chain to minimize the footprint as the cable still flaps behind the heatbed and base frame. Enjoy and Happy Printing!
