MP3DP V5 Bed Mounting

What is the best way to mount the bed plate to the “T Frame” bed extrusions? I don’t see a DXF anywhere for the hole locations on the aluminum bed plate. I am a bit confused on the below as well.

I am thinking of 3D printing some standoffs to use as spacers between the extrusion and the bottom of the bed plate.

Recessed screws at the 2 front corners, and in the center at the back I believe.

I built mine before it was officially published on Printables, so I don’t remember how I got it, but you should be able to export a DXF from the Fusion file if you need

Ahh okay so you did print some spacers. That makes the most sense.

As for the CAD, I downloaded the STEP from the Fusion link and am using it in Solidworks. But I do not see anything about the bed. But I could just figure out the hole locations myself. Didn’t know if there was already a DXF for the hole locations or not.

I don’t think the bed was made solid in the Fusion file, so it wouldn’t have made the STEP. You’d need to open it in Fusion and export the sketch as DXF.

You can print TPU spacer if you want.

I ordered these

and cut them down in size to the correct height
