After numerous failed designs, I've finally created some corner clips that keep a glass bed from shifting without the clip sitting on top of the glass surface itself in a Monoprice 11614 printer (Flashforge Creator Dual knockoff).
This design relies on you inserting an M3 nut into each of the tightening wheels you print.
I printed mine out of PETg simply because I like the flexibility and high temperatures it can withstand, but ABS would work, and PLA would probably be OK too, as long as you dont print with a very hot bed temp.
I printed mine solid as well just for the extra strength...you could probably print it with less plastic, but as I havent' TRIED that, I cannot confirm.
I am currently using 2 of these in opposing corners and they hold the glass perfectly still...no need for 4.
Also, you may want to print out a spacer to re-zero the Z axis sensor...like this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1332275
NOTE - in this case, I'm using an 1/8" piece of boros
