Description

This is a version of my popular “Door holder handle latch” which, rather than snap on the stock door handle, replaces it entirely using the two screws that hold the original door handle on. It takes less than 2 minutes to fit. This is great for people where the tolerances of the original design were too tight on their stock handle.
 

The Bambu Wiki recommends you keep your door and lid open when printing in low-temperature filaments such as PLA and TPU, however, the door can then swing about and is liable to be knocked further open risking damage or closed by mistake. It also swings about when printing fast which cannot help print quality.

 

By securely latching the door open this simple and quick print addresses these concerns, while keeping the stylish look of your printer.

 

I've been told it is also great for keeping curious cats out :)

 

Here are some comments for happy customers from the V1 snap on design:

“wow wow wow this model is a dream come true we printed it with eryone tricolor PLA. Turned out beautiful and will be using this for quite a while.”
“love it! They work really well!”

“printed perfectly. I use it everyday!”

“A truly elegant and functional design”

“This is one of the most well done, useful mods for the X1-C I've used”

EDIT: - this has been updated to ever so slightly increase the height of the handle so it does not touch the side of the printer as per a commenter.

The print works great and its designer addressed the clearance issue I had. It's most likely the holes drilled in my door were farther left than most causing my slight clearance issue. I printed mine on a P1S with a textured plate. Thanks for the great part.

Printed with Bambu PETG for all the colors. The fit and tolerances are good. The handle clears the chassis, which was an issue brought up in the comments/makes. I might reprint and turn on ironing with “All solid layer” to get the words to blend in a bit better. (Like what we do for a light box or signs). Overall it’s a great functional part and I like it better than the slip on version. Thanks!

I printed the long version with the logo and the radius of the hinge hits the side of my p1s just before the door completely closes. If it had 1mm more clearance it would work perfectly. Don't get me wrong the magnets still engage and the door still closes, but the tiny bit it isn't sitting perfectly flush is noticeable.

Replying to @taylormadearmy :
I've attached a photo showing the problem. I tried taking it looking straight down the front of the door. In this picture I've already fixed the problem in fusion 360 by adding 2mm to the part that screws onto the door. You'll see a gap between the hinge and the frame, but in the original I printed they were touching and not letting the door fully close.

got it. thanks. I'll update the files. doesn't quite touch on mine but it is close so I can imagine with tolerances I've made it too tight. thanks again.
