Door Holder (Ball and Socket)
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
No latch. No slide. No hook. Just push to engage and pull to disengage!
Door holder to keep your door open (or HODOR!) when the door holder is pushed in.
If using PETG (Recommended)
=========================
- Use the standard version STL (Door-Holder-Socket.STL). The standard version printed using PLA will likely snap. See below if using PLA.
- Use high infill (80% or higher) since it will likely be exposed to abuse.
- Use the typical settings to increase strength (higher temp, low/no fan, etc.)
- You can probably print this in ASA or Nylon (not tested)
- The ball part is the same for both PETG and PLA.
UPDATED (10/3/2021)
- Recommended infill to 80%.
- Thicker flaps in the middle (~30% increase) for added strength.
- Wider opening (~0.8mm) to lessen stress put on the flaps.
If using PLA
=============
- Use the file with "PLA" at the end (Door-Holder-Socket.STL).
- The PLA version has deeper slots to give the flaps more flexibility.
- It also has a slightly larger opening to put less stress but this also means a bit less grabbing force than the standard version.
- Use high infill (80% or higher) since it will likely be exposed to abuse.
- Use the typical settings to increase strength (higher temp, low/no fan, etc.)
- Tested with Overture PLA black and it seems to work OK.
- The ball part is the same for both PETG and PLA.
