Introduction

The Bed Clamp Kit can be built in 2 configurations. Configuration one supports the HBP build plate, while configuration two supports a regular round glass plate. In this document, we will be building the HBP version of the bed clamp. All parts in this guide come from ZT-KIT-001XX - Kossel Bed Clamp Kit.

  4. Orient the bed clamp part as shown below.  One at a time, load a M3 nut into the highlighted position. Terence's Tip:  It may be easier to skewer the M3 nut onto the end of the 2mm hex driver, and place the nut down into the recess.

    • Approach the bed clamp from the bottom and thread the threaded portion of the shoulder bolt up through the hole, turning to engage the nut

    • Repeat for the other side

    • Repeat for all 3 pieces

  6. Set bed clamp aside with the M3 x 8mm button head cap screws and the M3 fender washers for mounting to the Lower Triangle later.
