MPMD Bed hold down clips

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

These clips are a work in progress, please leave me feedback if you try them.
This requires you open up the printer case. If you're not comfortable doing this, you may want to try another clip such as https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3380266
This is a version of a bed hold down clip for the Monoprice mini Delta.
I've included 2 versions of the base, 1 has a debris shield added. (adapted from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3380266)
Print 3 of the tab, and 3 of the base you wish to use.
Required hardware:
3x M3 nuts
3x M3x10mm screw
3x 6mm or shorter screw, about M3
To install:
Do not install the tabs until told to!
Remove the top and bottom covers from the base of the printer. Be careful as the display panel will be loose, it can be unplugged and set aside.
It is not necessary to remove any other parts, be careful to keep track of what plugs in where if you do remove anything else.
Remove the stock bed clips, and replace it with one of the bases. The small circle on the bottom of the base should fit into the hole, and insert a screw from below to hold it in place.
Once you have all 3 bases installed, re-install the display and top plate of the base on the printer.
Put the print bed back in place, then prepare the tabs by putting an M3 nut in the slot in the back of each tab.
Install the tabs by putting the pins into the slot on the base, with the nut facing away from the print bed. Gently push the tab toward the print bed until you feel it click into place.
Insert the M3x10mm screws into the back of the tabs, through the nut.
Adjust the screws until there is just enough play for the bed switches to be activated and deactivated.
