Anet A8 Heated Bed Handle

Description

I normally just grab the bed and pull it towards me. I burned my hand once after printing ABS (bad habit), and I've had to reapply alcohol to my tape after grabbing it to push it back. Enough is enough, and here is a bed handle. It can be mounted without removing the bed.

I simply took Mrchaosbude's Cam holder, and I added a giant rectangle where the camera mount goes. I wanted a handle that did NOT attach at the bed corners or used the leveling screws! I don't like anything that could mess with leveling. This one works great for grabbing the bed, and no more burns!

Print one handle and two clips (bed_handle_gholder.stl is the clip).

I had some spare printer parts that I used for hardware:

Attach clips to handle: two M3 bolts, 4 M3 washers, 2 M3 nuts.
Attach clips to bed: two M3 bolts, 2 M3 nuts, several washers for spacers.

I am not washer frugal. Washers spread the force out over a greater area on the plastic thus reducing the pressure (defined as force/area) and lowering the chance for cracking.
