Every time we want to keep the garage door open longer than the 10-minute auto-close timer allows, we put the special rock in front of the safety sensor to keep the door from closing.

The special rock has served us faithfully. It has never complained, asked for a raise, or failed to perform its one very specific job. But after years of dedicated service, we’ve decided it deserves retirement. It belongs with the other rocks. It’s only right.

So, I made this: a garage door safety sensor cover that does the same job, but unlike the special rock, actually belongs in the garage. It slips over the sensor and, more importantly, has a designated home—so hopefully you won’t lose it.

Validated with these print settings:

  • Filament: TPU (85A Shore hardness)

  • Nozzle: 0.4 mm

  • Layer height: 0.2 mm

  • Walls: 4

  • Infill: 100%

I realize garage door safety sensors come in all shapes and sizes, so this may not fit yours perfectly. Hopefully it does. If not, I’ve included the .step file so you can remix, resize, modify, improve, or otherwise persuade it to fit your setup.

The special rock thanks you for your support and looks forward to spending its retirement among its own kind.
