All of the door props and latches I found on here and elsewhere were unnecessarily complex and difficult to operate.
This simple prop has magnets at each end to attach to the door plate and system magnet to extend the factory latch by 50 mm to crack open the door. The whole thing is about the size of the USB stick that came with the printer and takes about 10 mins to print.
This was designed for the Elegoo Centauri Carbon, but should work on most magnetic door latches. The attached STL uses 3mmx2mm round magnets which work great. The base end goes on the door and the other end has a 9° angle to match with the system-side magnet when held open. The "ECC" file has "Elegoo" embossed on the outside edge which is useful to orient the slight angle.
The F3D file is included so you can adjust for magnets you have on hand or change the angle for your door ("modify/change parameters" should work for small differences). You can also change the emboss on the side as the last step in the build slider.
