Needed a better seal around the door. You can install as many as you like to press the door firmly against the panel.

How to use These files (See photos for side by side comparison)
- DoorCatch DoorFront.3mf
- Attach to acrylic panel. This is the only choice. Pause at 2.80mm height to insert magnets. Check polarity.
- DoorCatch FrameFront Lowprofile.3mf
- Pick one of the following two. This one offers 1mm more clearance to fit the door compare to the regular.
- DoorCatch FrameFront Regular.3mf
- Original design, same size as the backing piece (Frameback regular.3mf). Tighter fit with the door.
- DoorCatch FrameFront Jig.3mf
- A jig used to mark hole for drilling. Essentially the regular piece with a 1mm edge added. Thus it gives 1mm clearance when paired with the regular piece and 2mm clearance with the lowprofile
- DoorCatch FrameBack Regular.3mf
- Backing piece for both the DoorFront and the FrameFront. Insert a m3 nut at height 4.00mm with a pause midprint.
- DoorCatch FrameBack Lowprofile.3mf
- The vertical portion of the enclosure has no space to mount the full sized backing piece, thus this is created. Insert a m3 nut at height 4.00mm with a pause mid-print.
