MPMD: Monoprice Mini Delta 127mm (5 Inch) Glass/Mirror Bed Hold Down Clips

thingiverse

I decided to adopt a unique approach for my MonoPrice Mini Delta by utilizing a glass/mirror bed. The mirror I selected was a 5 inch (127mm) one from a hobby store, and I noticed that most other clips were designed for 120mm glass beds. This clip, however, was specifically tailored to accommodate a 5 inch (127mm) glass/mirror bed. I also took into account various modifications that have become popular among Mini Delta owners, including the issue of bed clips lifting during the auto bed leveling process. To ensure precise alignment, it's essential to verify that the bed level switches are not getting stuck due to the tight tolerances between the bed clips and the mirror. One notable issue I encountered is that using the G29 P5 command for auto bed leveling may cause the nozzle to hit the edge of the clip depending on where the P5 command taps down. To address this concern, I've included a Fusion360 file in case anyone wants to make modifications. To account for varying diameter hole sizes in the delta frame and potential differences in filament cooling shrinkage, I've added multiple STL files with different diameter posts. The diameter sizes change in .05 mm increments, and it's crucial to ensure that the post is as snug as possible to prevent the clip from lifting during the auto bed leveling sequence. Following feedback and suggestions, I've updated my design by creating a V2 version of all files. In this revised version, I've made the bed overhang slightly smaller to avoid interfering with the G29 P5 command. This modification allows users to utilize the G29 P5 command for optimal results while still accommodating their glass plate.
