Description

I make my own build surfaces out of 1.5mm thick G10 sheets. Since it is not attached to a spring plate, I had to come up with an alternative means to hold the plate down to the heatbed. These clips are slightly curved with a hook on the underside to grip the bottom of the heatbed and a lip on the top to apply downward pressure on the build surface. They are as unintrusive as I could possibly design them. These are set up to print in PLA, but PETG would be a better material to use. The fit is super tight, which is what you want in this scenario.

Random: I was about to do the same as you and make my own, but isntead bought G10 build plate from lightyear made specfiically for X1/P1 with QR code and all, they even make a white one

@puiumeu

Interested how you shaped your G10 sheet to include the nozzle cleaner and ident tab. I got some sheet but it's the size of the print area not including the tabs. Need to reorder and cut the tabs?

What a great design. Be even more useful if there were files that could be selected for a different range of thicknesses, since do many folk have all manner of different combinations of surfaces that they would no doubt like to slap a G10 surface on top of. Or a file format that would let the application thickness be entered.
