Plate #2: Designed for standard (thin) double-sided tape.
Installation:
Some photos will look slightly different than the actual printed part. I made some small changes.
1. There are (3) slots for tape in the VHB tape version.
The thin double-sided tape version has (1) long slot. You can pretty much ignore all these steps except #5 & #6. 2. Cut a strip of tape and fit into the slot. Make sure there's a 0.5 - 1.0mm gap. If there's no gap, the printed seal could interfere with closing door all the way.
If you want to use less tape, you can cut shorter strips that aren't full-length. Just make sure you adhere them to the far-left, middle, and far-right edges.3. Cut the “overflow” to remove excess tape.4. There should be a gap on all four sides.5. Do a test fit before peeling off the tape backing. The lip seen in this photo should go right up against the hinge hardware. (but NOT jump over it)
Tape not sticking very well to the TPU? Try scuffing up the TPU with a knife or sandpaper and clean with alcohol.
6. Peel off the tape backing and install the printed part. Make sure the thin section of the printed part that pokes up above the glass does not have any gap, and is flush to the glass. If there is a gap, the door will not close properly.
I suppose you're right - I thought it would be more difficult to align as a single, long strip.
I will add an additional 3D model file if you want to try it. Do you want 3 or 4 sections for tape?
I’m not 100% sure. I never printed the DS2 and I currently do not have the DS3 installed. I didn’t like how it fit on my P1S so I might design an alternative when I have time.
