Hi everyone! I'm building a Rostock V3 and am confused about the heated bed. The instructions say the glass should be held by the clamps, but I have a gap:
Here's how I installed the mount in the base assembly:
Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Rotate the clamp 180 degrees. The wide, flat part is supposed to be in contact with the glass, not the handle end.

Doh, thanks geneb! Unfortunately there's still a gap, I can fit a quarter between the glass and the clamp easily:

Then you might have the bed support blocks installed upside down. You can either flip them or use a pair of pennies at each location to hold the glass long enough for you to print some spacers.

Thanks geneb! Two quarters filled the gap nicely. I'll try printing spacers once it's calibrated.
