Toddlers in my house have broken every door stop. On top of that with the old house, doors did not stay open. So far, I kept using simple door stops or any random items to stop the door from closing.
But then I came across Spring Latch mechanism by 3D Printy and decided to design simple Door Catch with similar mechanism.
Printing
- Both parts print without any supports.
- Print the spring with enough perimeter lines that the flexible arms are solid.
- Pictured parts are printed with below settings and material.
- eSUN PLA+ Fire Engine Red
- 0.2mm Layer Height
- 3 Perimeters
- 5 Top and Bottom Layers
Assembly
- Both the spring and catch can be attached with two #6 or #8 wood screws to door and base board.
