10pcs Glass Bed Spring Turn Clips for Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3S, Ender 5 Pro, CR-20 PRO, CR-10S Pro 3D Printer

I have an Ender Pro 5 with the Creality glass bed upgrade which puts my build plate right at 8mm exact. All of the other clips I could find would only support between 5mm to 7mm, and no more. These clips are able to handle 8mm securely, while still having more room to expand in the event that I want to use a PEI sheet or anything on top of the glass. While the clip looks large in the pictures, the only part that hands on to the top of your build plate is the little finger on the skinny (right) side of the clip in the picture. The slanted spring arms and everything else goes under the plate. Just be careful if you have a heated bed not to pinch any of the heating element wires. I was able to get 8 solid points of contact on the Ender build plate without running into the heating element wires.

The Good:-Easier to install and remove than the standard clips. Not as easy as the typical butterfly clips.-Holds the plate securely enough to complete printing. After printing is an issue though.-Company size doesn’t reduce plate area.The Bad:-Pops off quicker than a wanna be thug. Since they are easier to remove, too much pressure will send these little runts flying while trying to remove your print off the plate. I’ve lost 2 already. A real bugger when it’s the clips in the rear that go cascading off the wall and into the abyss behind the table.-The compact size means you have to touch the (hot) plate to install/remove them. Butterfly paper clips not as much.-Butterfly clips work just as well and are more readily available.

When I moved from the stock magnetic bed to a glass bed everyone told me to use binder clips to hold the bed down. For some of my larger prints the head would bump into the clips or knock them off. These clips hold the glass bed firmly in place and are so low profile that I never worry, or even think about, if the head might hit one. I am using two per side (8 total) on my Ender 5 Pro and I am very glad I went with these.

These spring clips would not stay put on my Ender 3. The holding strength was uneven from side to side, and the clips wouldn't stay secure during movement of the Y axis. Twice in the first print, at least one *PING* noise was heard, which corresponded with a clip flying off the machine, followed by a significant layer shift thanks to the plate coming loose.

Got it for my new glass bed for the ender 3, these damn clips are a pain to put on and extend quite a bit. Plus it's bowed shape makes it prone to flexing as it prints and can snag, sticks out alot and better of just getting binder clips

I was looking for replacement for the folder clips that come with printer to hold the bed down so that there would be more more room to the edge of the bed. They just won't stay on. I'm not sure how they would hold any bed down.

The way these are designed it holds the bed down like it's supposed to. But if you look at these things wrong the spring force yeets them across the room. I nearly lost an eye and one is still lodged in my dog's ass. I think one killed my goldfish too. My print bed hasn't moved in the slightest though.

They are out of the way as they should be, and hold the glass on the bed very well
