Artillery Sidewinder X1 - Heat bed screw center helper

A simple and small tool to help you centering the heatbed screws into the four holes of the bed holder to avoid contact of the screws with the holder. This can prevent bending of the glass bed through expanding (while heating) if the screws press on the metal holding frame.
Print four of them, put the heatbed into position and then insert these four parts below so that the screws would be mostly centered in the holes. Then carefully remove the parts again and more carefully screw the four big wheels into each of them (not only one at a time! One turn on each of them every time until you reach the needed bed height).
I have drilled my four holes to be 6,5mm instead of 6.0-6.2mm of the stock holder. This is also suggested from Artillery directly (there are videos showing how to do this somewhere, Facebook Group or Youtube).
