This is a very simple block that I superglue to the corner of my IKEA Alex drawers to allow them to close flush and still be lockable with the magnetic baby locks that I bought.
I printed the blocks in white PLA on my Prusa MINI+ with 15% infill and 0.35mm layer height (0.6mm nozzle).
I had to post-process trim one down with a hobby knife to get it to latch properly, but the other 20-ish that I printed required no post-processing. I think it's because the drawer has a lot of heavy things in it, so the latch is slightly lower because the whole drawer is weighed down.
These are the baby locks that I got but I'm sure any similar style would work as well:

I did not spend much time on this at all (works fine for me and I already glued them to my drawers) so feel free to remix this to make it better. I'm sure you can.
