Removable Glass Bed Holder for the Anet A8 - Ender 3 Glass Plate

thingiverse

I needed a detachable glass bed surface for my Anet A8 to avoid using clips altogether. My second reason was that I print with both ABS and PLA, and this allows me to easily swap out the two build plates - one blank for PLA and one coated with ABS juice. I therefore designed these holders so you can simply slip in the glass plate and secure it at the front. The front holders use 2-3 screws that come with the Anet A8 package. These holders are designed for a Glass Size 235 x 235 x 3,9 mm glass plate, which is equivalent to the one on the Creality Ender 3. You can purchase the glass plate on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Official-Creality-3D-Tempered-235x235x3mm/dp/B07F16WPR5/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1544540901&sr=8-6&keywords=creality+ender+3+glass+bed I intentionally designed a larger bed surface so that I could utilize the entire bed area of the Anet A8. They also hold the springs of the bed in the correct position and have holes for the nuts on top.
