Description

This is my effort at making my build glass removable. I've tried several other methods, none of which I liked, I love magnets and seeing make many offer manufactures use them I figured out a way for me to adapt them to my Prusa i3.

It's a pretty simply concept, make the glass long enough to overhand the heated bed and make brackets to hold small magnets.

I have uploaded only one STL file, you will need four brackets two opposite, so simply mirror two of them.

I used these magnetic from Harbor Freight, the are really cheap (10) for $2.99 and should be easily accessible for most.

I have included my method of assembling this (see "Instructions"), I'm sure there are many suitable alternatives, but I wanted to at least give one.

NOTE: If you don't want to use magnets you can simply use binder clips to hold the glass to the brackets. This sets the binder clips well out of the way of the hotend...no more flying clips LOL

Update (2-29):

I finally got both glasses finished and I have to say I love this upgrade. No more binder clips to get in the way and a super easy way to change glass when my Kapton Tape gets jacked up, you can also pull off the hot glass and start a new print right away (no more waiting for cool-down)...win/win if you ask me ;-)
