This is a quick CAD hack i threw together, still gotta print it and test it out, will keep updated.
In a nutshell, after a few months with my first 3D printer (ender 3), i started to feel "limited" by it's printing volume. I bought aluminium extrusion and made it bigger in Z and Y and i'll do X next. The only problem now is the very small bed. This thing is essentially a bracket to clamp a glass plane to the stock bed, and is supposed to do so for cheap, with all stock parts, and be a pretty easy upgrade.
The 4 pieces (are supposed to) clip together like puzzle pieces under the bed, and the glass bed slides in and gets locked in by "FRONT HOLDER.STL".
Still, this hasen't been tested, not even printed. Will keep updated.
