Summary

I wanted something other than paperclips to retain the glass bed on my Ender 5, so I designed these in Sketchup and printed them. The initial measurement I had was .255, but I changed these to .265(6.75mm) to account for a slight undersize during the bridging/supports.

I sliced in Ultimaker Cura 4.0, and used "support everywhere" to prevent the overhang from drooping. While the build quality hasn't been perfect for me, the function has been great so far. The tops extend .0625 above the glass bed total, but only extend onto the bed a little bit.
