This is a simple latch slot extension for the IKEA Milsbo cabinet. It is intended to be used as a “secure” method of propping open the door for ventilation of a greenhouse conversion project.
The Milsbo is excellent for greenhouse conversion. The glass has a very good seal and the doors are constructed in such a way as to provide great surfaces for weatherstripping. Finally, the center gap between the doors can be sealed using a self-adhesive silicone flap made for this purpose.
However, a properly sealed greenhouse can quickly become too humid. On the one had, this is desired, since heat and humidity retention (as well as artificial light) is the whole point of the greenhouse conversion. Yet, it can be helpful to allow periodic venting to keep cyclical humidity under control.
Propping the door open a bit with something works fine, but prying paws can lead to a kitty hazard for your plants. This simple solutions allows you to hang an extension on the latch slot that provides a few angles for the door to be opened and latched in place. This gives the ventilation when needed, but keeps the door from opening and closing.

Notes:
Print in two parts, both flat. This gives the pieces dimensional strength along perimeter lines.
You may choose to shave a few tenths off of the top of the slot part making it thinner. It needs to fit between the gap in the doors. As-is, it fits my Milsbo just fine, but assembly tolerances of IKEA furniture might make it too think for you. In either case, it is easy to chop a layer or two off the top in your slicer. Don’t reduce the hook part, since this needs to fit in the rectangular hole of the slot part.
It is likely none of this thinning is required, just mentioning it here in case your doors are a tight fit.
Once printed, you need to glue the two pieces together using superglue.
While this might have worked as a single print, layer lines would lead to separation possibilities. This way, the slots are stronger and the hook into the latch slot is stronger. Neither will split along layer lines. Gluing is a simple sacrifice to improve working strength.
Because the receiving hole is a tight fit, you may need to adjust any bulges in the hook part with sandpaper or knife first. Do a dry fit to make sure and then glue.
