Kossel-mini Heated Bed Mount and Glass Holder by makerlibre

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I like this heated bed... http://www.emakershop.com/browse/listing?l=1081 and I really love printing ABS on my Kossel-Mini. One of the biggest problems is trying to get the clips to hold the glass to the bed and when I use clips, I lose some print area.
Also, the HBP doesn't exactly match the frame, so I needed to print a few pieces.
If you use the mounts, you can adjust the space of your bed mounting holes to your frame nut groove and get the bed to fit perfectly. Also, if you use the standard kit, the nuts fit perfectly on the underside.
You'll notice in the pictures that I also have a piece of cork on the bottom of the HBP. I recommend this to keep the motors from getting all that heat, to heat the bed faster and to be more energy efficient.
I have found that there is some tweaking that needs done for the solder points and a couple of the glass bed that I have used are different by 1/2mm. therefore, I left the holes undrilled in this design so that the glass is nice and snug (and you don't need to clip the glass).
