RigidBot R1 Glass Holder V2

thingiverse

This upgrade keeps a glass bed stable over the original aluminum RigidBot bed. Having a removable glass bed simplifies detaching objects, and prevents bending of Y axes while trying to detach objects. Just remove the glass, take off objects onto a table, and reinstall the glass. I installed a 250x250mm borosilicate glass that is 3 mm high. The way RigidBot is designed makes it tricky to install a glass bed because the head will move over the complete surface of the bed and also outside. You have to pay attention to avoid hitting any conventional block or clip system since they will move out, and there's only a couple of mm of space to avoid collision. These small angle frames keep the glass steady and keep the clip mount under the level of the glass with no risk of hitting the head. This Thing replaces another update I did using aluminum bars since they limited the original glass space, and I experienced some crashes due to misalignments: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2613449 REQUIRED MATERIALS: - Print all these parts - 4 office clips (2.5 cm) - 4 small rubber bands Each part has its position. The L angle frames are the upper parts that maintain the glass, and the larger parts have to be installed under the L parts on the bottom of the bed to allow a stable clip holding since RigidBot's bed has steps underneath and doesn't normally allow a stable clip holding. Use rubber bands to prevent office clip holders from moving and hitting against the Rigidbot frame during movements (very important). Don't confuse the parts. In the pictures, you can see my office clips that are covered by my 'office clip holders' https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2809603. You don't need to do that; just leave the clip as they are.
