3D model description

This is an enhanced version of Alehandoro qidi xmax 3 bed guide /stopper.
As he mentions Qidi are now selling the printer with the soft magnetic bed which renders the bed guide stop at the back unusable as it doesnt have to height for a plate to "stop" at the point it should
Its by no means essential but it does make life easier and helps with leveling as the plate goes back to the same place each time after removing or cleaning a build plate.

The orginal by Alehandoro although a great design has very thin walls which simply fall apart after printing, theyre also very loose. I redesigned a way around this by reinforcing and slightly changing the dimensions. It now fits tight and has stronger walls.
Use anything but PLA to print (petg works fine, Ive printed enclosed at 60c inside heat and its had no issues).
As you can see in the photos I silicone glued (heat resistant silicone) a borosilicate glass plate to a qidi hf spring steel plate (I removed the pei off the smooth side first) and its been working great
