- Model: Clip-cristal
Black metal clip with a knurled adjustment screw for securing glass and other removable rigid build surfaces to a 3D printer heated bed.
The U-shaped body fits over the edge of the bed, while the screw allows the clamping pressure to be adjusted. Its compact design occupies little space on the build surface and can be tightened manually without tools.
Nominal dimensions
- External height: 13.9 mm.
- Internal opening: 10 mm.
- Base: 14.7 × 9.9 mm.
- Upper tab thickness: 1.9 mm.
- Approximate screw diameter: 3 mm.
- Visible threaded length: 8.2 mm.
- Knurled knob height: 6 mm.
- Weight: less than 4 g.
- Contents: 1 clip.
The 10 mm internal opening describes the available space inside the body, but it is not a guaranteed maximum clamping thickness. The useful range depends on screw reach, component seating and the pressure the build surface can safely withstand.
Compatibility
Suitable for securing glass, mirror, G10, FR4 and other rigid plates when the bed edge is accessible and the combined thickness allows the body and screw to seat correctly.
It may be compatible with machines such as the Creality Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, CR-10, Prusa i3, P3Steel and other printers with moving beds. Check the available edge, underside insulation, wiring and the complete path of the nozzle and probe before installation.
Adjustment and safety
- Place the body fully over the edge of the bed and build surface.
- Tighten the screw by hand until the build surface can no longer move.
- Do not continue tightening once secure: excessive point pressure can damage glass or deform a thin bed.
- Distribute several clips around the perimeter instead of concentrating all the force in one location.
- Keep the screw and tabs outside the path of the nozzle, probe and moving components.
- Check underneath that the clip does not touch electrical tracks, solder joints, thermistors, insulation or wiring.
After fitting a build surface with a different thickness, recalibrate the Z offset and first layer before printing.
Other clamping options
- Stainless steel spring clip: quick installation without screws.
- Set of four reversible metal clips: distributes the clamping force around the bed.
