Description

This is version 2 of my popular “Door holder handle latch”. It has various improvements including a fully connected hinge so it cannot come apart like the previous versions and even better fit to the handle for those who struggled to get the original version to fit without scaling it. It is a print-in-place design.

This simple, quick print can help prevent clogs by keeping your door open and secure and also improve print quality by not allowing the door to swing about. I've been told it is also great for keeping inquisitive cats out :)

Here are some comments for happy customers from the V1 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”

If you prefer there is a version which replaces the original handle rather than snapping on reusing the stock handles screws - takes 2 minutes to fit: https://makerworld.com/en/models/453771#profileId-361187

Also - check out the matching top glass holder: https://makerworld.com/en/models/413801#profileId-315832

As requested please see the video in the pictures to show how to install it - it just slides on without needing to remove the handle.

A very small number of people find it is too tight - I think this is usually due to the filament used, but it is easily fixed - Please do not force it on if it is too tight. There are some 101% versions in the profile - try them! Alternatively try the full handle replacement version here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/453771#profileId-361187

it printed well and I went with Short Logo Scaled 101%. I have one issue and it is more of an annoyance, is that the latch rattles around when stowed. It is not firm, this might be because it’s at 101% but the regular did not fit my handle on my X1C. When in the holding position it works fine and is firm. I like the idea of maybe adding two magnets to help secure when stowed. One in the latch arm and one on the handle. Overall, works as intended!

hmmm. it's meant to have a couple of indents to hold it in place when stowed - they not tight enough in your print?

Replying to @user_3551197704 :

I do see the indents and they catch a bit but there is a lot of play where it can move up and down. I'm going to try the 100% scale and unscrew the handle and insert it instead. I'll see if that fixes anything. I'll let you know. Thanks for the reply

Replying to @XRTech404 :

If you are unscrewing the handle - try out my new design instead - its a full handle replacement. And I'm able to make those indents bigger as I don't have to worry about the whole thing coming loose when opening the latch: https://makerworld.com/en/models/453771

Fits really well, printed without any scaling.
