Excellent! It took me two goes around trying different sizes until I eventually got my bed the flattest it's ever been. The longer handle version definitely made the process easier.
@AlexeykH_1340339 Any recommendation on what polyethylene film to use to prevent this from starting a fire?
@TDEastvold_884486 I am using relatively think film 0.2-0.25, and using front "door" open by 1/2 or 2/3. Do not use it completely closed or do not leave unattended while printing (edited)
Printed eight of these for a printer enclosure, using 1/4” od steel tubing for the rods. Used 15% infill, with brim, drilled out the holes to fit the tubing. These are a good solid corner bracket that printed very well with PLA+ on an Elegoo Neptune 3 pro.
Decided to make this model but without bed mounting option. Looks good, printed really easy and I think it will be perfect for purpose. I've printed it of black PETG. Thanks for design this!
@_1353545 What did you use for the red tubes around the threaded shafts? Looks neat!
@HoukeKuiken_1758269 heat-shrink tubing
This made an amazing difference to the structural stiffness of my printer! I printed the parts in solid PLA and bought 3 metres of 10mm threaded rod from bunnings (.com.au). I didn't drill the lower-left side, I just made the parts super clean, stuck the bracket on with cyanocrylate (super glue) and let it sit for a full 24hrs before adding any tension. So far (touch wood), it's working fine. Oh, and black heat-shrink tube on the threaded rod makes it look a little less 'industrial'! :-)
(btw, if you live in Sydney, Australia and you don't mind a trip to the lower-north-shore, you can have my left-over threaded rod - approx 1450mm, you'll need to cut it. send me a message. It's not worth shipping, only AUD$6.20 from bunnings!)

so far so good, @MiguelSaenz_2148892. It's been three months now, and it's still holding on fine.
@drgeoffb_1550248 this is the comment I needed. Thinking of using ca as well.
Which "wrong" light bar are you talking about?
Hi,
I also didn't get the brackets - this file helps a lot - but when i try to mirror it in my slicer (creality 5) - it keeps crashing the software - can you please upload mirror'ed version?
Thanks a lot!!!
