I'm designing a printable spacer that has the correct indentation in it for easy fitment.

My glass clamps still need four holes drilled but this is easy and unnecessary for those still using binder clips.

Waiting on a replacement aluminium bed from Solidoodle.

First time around I hacked my original one up making up my solution as I went. For tyhe guide I'll be presenting a much easier to fit system with less grinding and more printed adapter parts.

something like that ?? i speak for your first solution... i put my silicon pad between the original bed and piece of glass

I have read the posts on the subject here but was wondering about other options and my own search has been not turned up much.

I am not interested in the one from Solidoodle themselves.  Considering the experience I had with the initial purchase, etc. I wouldn't even consider purchasing from them again.... ever.
