Customizable FlashForge glass bed corner

I made a customizable version of jherridge's corners (thing:613685) in OpenSCAD to hold my glass plate from sliding sideways. I also modified it because I don't put it over the existing nut and I use thinner more fragile, but cheaper glass.

I removed the nuts from the corner bolts on the heated bed. Slip the slot in this thing over the bolt and then used a washer and replaced the nut to hold it in place. The overhang isn't meant to go over the glass since any thing that sticks up will run into the head on a wide print. (The dual head makes this worse). They just butt up against the sides of the glass to keep if from sliding in X and Y. I rely on gravity for Z.

Updated to allow a full corner version rather than just tabs. Might not work if the bolt isn't perfectly the same distance to each edge.

Instructions

I printed this in ABS. I think PLA will get too soft when the bed is hot.

I printed it without support, so the overhangs were a bit messy but workable. I think you could print with support and carve it out if you want a cleaner finish.
