Tevo Little Monster - Glass Bed Clamp

thingiverse

The Tevo Little Monster's included bed is extremely uneven, prompting me to add a borosilicate glass plate to level it out until I upgrade the heated bed and base plate. Initially, there were bed clips available but they lacked tensioning or attachment capabilities to the frame rather than the bed itself. Furthermore, I did not want to utilize the existing bolts holding the bed due to their manual adjustment requirements, so I needed to ensure the clamp wouldn't obstruct the fan ducts or IR sensor extending beyond the hotend's sides. I designed a small clamp with a cam mechanism that securely held the glass in place while also evenly clamping it down to the bed. After experimenting with various designs that didn't necessitate modifying the bed itself, I ultimately chose the one requiring additional M3 holes to be drilled. To simplify this process, I crafted a jig to precisely locate the holes where needed, making life easier overall.
