After installing the 270-degree door hinges I found myself often opening the door on my K1C a little over zealously. I wanted something that could cushion the door when opened and something to hold it in place. I didn’t want to have to reach for a clip every time I wanted to close the door though.
So, I made a magnetic door catch that mounts to the back side of the frame. The catch holding the magnets is purposefully pushed a little out from the frame so that it would act like a spring.
You will need is 4 magnets 10x6 (2x for the catch and 2x for the slip on handle)
You will also need 2x m3x12 (Make sure they do not protrude into the enclosure)
Print in your favourite filament. I used ASA at a 0.2mm layer heigh.
Set your slicer to pause at the correct layer and insert the magnets. No support no faffing.
Happy printing.
PRO TIP: Make sure the magnets fit tight or put a spot of glue before printing over them. If they are loose they will rattle and drive your wife MAD. Happy wife, happy being able to buy more printers. Use it don't use it 😊.
