    We did not need that Adapter at thiniverse, I'm really not sure what it is For ??

    Your extenders look Great !

    But I would have rotated the position of them to make the bed much longer in X, less in Y direction, as per my description.
    Since there is a bed size selection in Makerbot slicer that uses that area in X direction but not much in Y.
    In my description I gave measurements of glass as 11 1/8" X 6 7/8",
    which fits, if brackets are positioned that way.
    (We have needed that extra length of 11" several times, which is about 12" if angled diagonally)
    If you find a way to actually use that extra space in Y direction, using Makerbot slicer, please let me know.

    It appears that you still have the Kapton tape on bed-plate.
    That needs to be removed before attaching glass to aluminum-plate,
    using Aqua-net spray, for good heat transfer.
    (tape will act as an Insulator and effects bed-leveling adjustment also)
