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

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted a removable glass bed surface on my Anet A8 to avoid using clips. My second reason was that I print with ABS and PLA, and with this I can easily swap the two build plates, one blank for PLA and one with ABS juice. I therefore designed these holders where you just slip the glass plate in and secure it in the front.</p> <p>The front holders use 2-3 screws that come with the Anet A8 package.</p> <p>The holders are designed for a Glass Size 235 x 235 x 3,9 mm glass plate, which is equal to the one on the Creality Ender 3. You can get the glass plate on amazon:</p> <p>(where I got mine) <a href="https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07DSC9TJQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20">https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07DSC9TJQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</a></p> <p>(should also work) https://www.amazon.com/Official-Creality-3D-Tempered-235x235x3mm/dp/B07F16WPR5/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1544540901&amp;sr=8-6&amp;keywords=creality+ender+3+glass+bed</p> <p>I purposely wanted a larger bed surface so that i could use the entire bed area of the Anet A8.</p> <p>They also hold the springs of the bed in the right position, an have holes for the nuts on the top.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Anet A8</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0,2mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>50%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Fil-A-Gehr ABS <p>White</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>If you want to print with ABS, it is important to also print these holders in ABS to resist to the higher temperatures.</p> Print with high infill, 4-5 perimeters and enough top and bottom layers to ensure a strong print. <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>You might want to drill the holes out if it does not fit well.</p> </div></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
