Search for posts by mhackney, he has some settings that he swears by.

Printed a test piece to make sure that everything worked right and now back onto a customer job. The thermistor on the stock hotend fell out and snapped a wire. There was lots of smoke, luckily I was there when it happened. That silicone does not hold very well in a straight hole.
With the new setup, I gained about 11mm more height and can print just over 400mm now.
Couple of issues with having the new platform close to the bed. One, it's hardier to see right where the nozzle is printing. Second, watch out for the arms hitting the binder clips when getting close to the perimeter. Going to to have to work on both those issues.

BTW I used #4 1/2 inch sheet metal tapered (countersunk) screws on the clips
I got them at Homedepot

How do those clips mount onto the glass/bed? Screws?

They go in the holes in the heat bed into the plastic parts, then the glass snaps into place

Not the kind of kickstarter that I would want to invest in, but that's an interesting way to package some E3D's. Gives me an idea thou.

My only concern is that plastic might warp from the heat of the hotend. I've decided to design on platform that acts as the fan shroud. Needs a little more work, then I'll share it it here. I'm going to try and print the next platform out of PETG also.
