Corner Glass Holder For Anet A8

I was tired of not having a flat glass over my hot bed when using just 2 paper clips to reduce the area lost in the hot bed. Also there were some times that the nozzle of the hotend or the auto bed level sensor (using a 3dTouch right now) would hit the clips ands all the print or the leveling would get affected.

I tried using magnets and corner holders, i tried to use the same corner piece to hold the cork sheet i use to insulate the hot bed, it was not that good of an invention, that is why i went full simple and got this.

Measures of the distance from the hot bed edges to the screws may vary.

Accuracy is somewhat important if you dont want your bolts or springs to get stressed due to the tension.

Since this design is supposed to hold the glass over your hot bed you can try printing it in ABS (i got no spool of that at the moment) so your hot bed wont soften the corners and the glass wont move due to sudden movements of the bed.

Right now im printing PLA and PETG with the hot bed temp at 50 and 80 degrees and it still does the job and the pieces dont show signs of deformation and still hold the glass tight in place without messing with the flatness of the glass.

This works by pulling in and down the glass and thanks to the “flexibility” or “stretch” of the material it grants a tight fit (at least in my anet A8)
