Also I have a ultimaker at work and I fell in love with the idea of taking the whole bed off between prints.
Now that I got the bed I have to figure out how to attach it so it is easily removable. Problem is I cant get to the front/back fastener gaps that I’ve seen a lot of people use and the side rails don’t have a lot of clearance. Any clever people out there already solved this problem? I’m thinking magnets but I’m worried about sliding during y-travel. Or ulta thin clamps if I can find anything.
When I find a successful solution I’ll post it here.
The glue holding my bed magnets in place gave up a long time ago (since purchase in fact). This causes some bed wobble which I think leads to some inaccuracy during bed levelling. I recently bought some table cloth clips which are thin enough to slip inside the gap during y travel and provide good enough pressure to stop the wobble. Havent run a long print since fitting but might be worthy of investigation. Ebay is a good source
Their website says to use 4 to 6 mini bulldog clips, which I believe are the black V-shaped paper clips! I’ve seen them used in Youtube videos on other print beds.
I tried using them but (1) their metal actuators (for lack of a better term) stick out to far in the x direction so you have to fold them under which is difficult. (2) I haven’t found ones small enough to not bump the z column supports as it travels in the and (3) they are wider than I would like forcing themselves into the actual print surface.
you sir are a genius. I already bought the table cloth clips and the binder clips I have laying around are a little too wide but this is definitely doable as a second option.
