New way to fix a glass bed to a Creator Pro?

I've tried numerous methods of attaching a glass bed to my Creator Pro and none have yielded particularly successful results. One method which has had the most success is using 11mm Swiss clips. The drawback with these is preventing them from pinging off in the absence of a mounting hole as they would on a frame. So, I was contemplating around this problem and came up with an idea. Attach two clips to the bed with springs to the center HBP mounting screw. It only requires two and works exceptionally well indeed. I used 8mm diameter springs. The loop at the clip end is stretched over the flange on the clip, above the platform and below the bed, and then just looped over the pillar. It doesn't even need a nut to hold it in place as it's under tension. When the clips are unclipped, they even retract themselves neatly atop the platform. See my photos to see how it's working. I hope that this may prove helpful for others. NB - Ignore the STL
