Topic: Bed Clip concepts
Working off the ideas in another thread from dubbsd and Ian. I sketched up a couple ideas but haven't thought them all the way through yet. Take a look and see if it would work or will inspire another solution. Open source bed clipping at it's finest.
Idea 01 is just dubbsd's idea with a different shape on the clip so you don't have to swing it. You'd probably want the glass slightly oversize in the front to give you some place to lift from without burning yourself.
Idea 02 is a spring steel base, 3d printed magnet holder snapped into a hole in the spring steel. This would be .3mm or so under the bottom of the glass, and then a magnet would be placed / glued to the glass to hold them together. I suppose you could glue a magnet straight to the spring steel as well. The glass would have to be 10mm or so oversize for this concept to work. We'd have to test out of the earth magnets would be strong enough, but I don't see why they wouldn't be. (You could also glue the magnets to the underside of the glass and stick them to the bent up spring steel directly)
These are both using Ian's concept of locking a thin piece of steel between the bottom of the bed and the bed leveling spring. Alum bed / steel / jam nut / spring / z platform
Talk amongst yourself, just trying to contribute to the process.
