Cool Door Wedge - 3 sizes. Soft, flexible, no support

This looks like a simple door wedge, but in real life, it is a really cool door wedge. That's really it. Stick it under the door and the wind struggles to slam the door.

I printed this on my Creality Ender 3, just because I have a laser cut build plate that puts a nice pattern on the bottom. To that end, I flipped it over and put the top surface on the bottom. The inevitable stair step then goes on the floor and the wedge looks nicer.

The hole is designed to hold some string or ribbon, so the wedge can be hung from the door knob or handle while not in use. I like this better than having it float around on the floor waiting for someone to drip over it in the dark.

There are 3 models, each with a different start depth and final depth, choose the one that works best for your location and needs.

1. Small: 20 x 60 x10mm
2. Medium: 25 x 70 x 17.5mm
3. Large: 30 x 90 x 25mm

The dimensions are the first is the width, then length and then height. They all have a fairly nice slope and are sized width wise for their length and height to make them stable.

There is no photo of the medium sized cool wedge, because I didn't have a need for it, but thought it might help someone else out.

Print Settings

Use a soft filament, PETG should work, I use TPU 95A.

• Wall thickness: 0.8mm
• Top and bottom: 0.8mm
• Infil: Cubic, 20%

I wanted the outer surface of the wedges to be the same thickness and 0.8 seemed fine. I wanted the inside to be squishy and flexible, hence the 20% infill. The cubic is strong from all directions and looks nice in the transparent TPU I used. You can choose any other infill patterns, but cubic is my current go to. I think it adds to the aesthetic, which is one of the fantastic things about 3-D printing. You have the only one in the world.

I recommend that you place the z-seam at the back of the curve, near the ribbon hole. That yields the best result and least cleanup if you want a perfectly smooth part.

Modification

You can change the dimensions in the slicer to make it a little taller or wider, to suite your application and door. 

If someone wants a specific height then please let me know and I will make you one and put it into the files list.

Finally, if you like the design and the look, please give it a like, even if you don't want to print it. 

If you make it, post your make, it gives you more points.

Happy making.
