Glass tensioner (works on tevo tarantula)

This is a glass tensioner based on:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2260586

but the author never uploaded a separated SLT file, so whenever I wantd to print only one, I need to edit his STL and I took less time to create my own, in a parametric way, using Fusion 360, so you can edit it to meet your printer sizes.

Fusion 360 file: http://a360.co/2uHiHiD

you need to print

1x corner_a: the tensioner itself
3x corner_b: standard corners to hold the glass

materials:
2x Nut and Bolt, in order to tension the glass, check photos

optional:
I am adding also a spacer (corner_c), which will make some space for small bolts like mine and also provide a better surface (plastic/glass vs metal/glass)
please send me a comment if you have questions or requests

Update:
added replaced circle with a slot at the base (thanks for the idea! https://www.thingiverse.com/jcmunozac), please download the fusion 360 file in its latest version (v19 at this point)

Notes:

Recommended: use Brims, since they are really small parts and a tiny warp can mean easily 25% of the solid merged, then remove it with cutters

Future Work

Make a bolt & nut less version, using some printed mechanism to generate the tension, stay tuned
