Occasionally my nozzle or fan duct will crash into one of the binder clips securing down my platen. These customizable flush mount brackets hold the platen down while staying out of the way. Also it's much quicker installing and removing the platen with these brackets; two eccentric retainers just need to be rotated out of the way allowing the platen to easily lift out.
While using the customizer, you may select each individual part to preview using the "Part" drop down menu which is available in all tabs. To have a zoomed in view of an individual part go to the [Build plate] tab and set the "Show Build Plate" dropdown to "No". You may also tweak the display of the build plate here in accordance with your own printer platform.
Set "bed_y_mount_height" equal to the nominal center to center distance of the bed mounting holes in the y-axis. The default of 209mm works for the MK2 (http://reprap.org/wiki/PCB_Heatbed)
Measure the thickness of your build platen and set "platen_thick"
