A very silly name for a very useful print!
You know that one door that you always have to use a rock, chair, or some other random object to prop open, because you don't want it to close and lock on you? This print is the solution to that problem!
It can be easily attached to a door with double sided tape, or if you print the version with magnets, you can easily stick it right on a metal door!
The magnet version has places to insert disk magnets to easily attach it to a metal door! It needs 2 disk magnets that are 2mm by 25 mm. If you don't already have magnets of this size, they are very easy to find and purchase online.
If you wanted to use a magnets of a different size, I would recommend downloading the normal version and using a Boolean operation to make space for the magnets you have.
Both versions of the model print in place with no supports needed, and work right off the print bed!
Hope you enjoy printing it, and find it useful!
The g-code for the magnet version will automatically pause for you to insert the magnets. If you slice the model that has spaces for magnets yourself, be sure to insert pauses in the g-code at the layer before the solid surface above the magnets!
Instructions for inserting magnets:
Please follow the following procedure to properly orient the magnets:
- The first time the printer stops, insert the magnet into the cavity in the print with either side up.
- The second time the printer stops, place the second magnet onto the print directly above the first magnet, such that it is attracted to it (instead of being repelled by it).
- Flip the second magnet over so the opposite side is up, and insert it into the cavity on the other side of the model.
This will ensure the magnets will hold the hinge shut when it's closed!
