<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Door Latch]]> 2013-08-19T15:22:03Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/842/door-latch/ <![CDATA[Re: Door Latch]]> Building door to SD3 is simple.
In Solidoodle 3 frame there is threaded holes in left side of front frame.
Those holes are for hinge (I found commersial from local hw store), Thingiverse thing 61978 might work also.
Door it self is 3mm thick 320x330mm acrylic sheet.

I post pictures as soon as I get everything printed and working.
Attached are current STL's, but there still might be some changes and design errors because I still didn't get everything printed and together.

Edit:
These work quite well, but some reason Slic3r make few layer support inside of handle.
That "extra" support cause latch and handle join to fragile so I need design these again ....

The .STL would be good too.

Used 32mm hole (just because I have drill for that).
I also change handle direction to match door handel.
I will post STL and models if some one want it.
I didn't print this yet so modifications are possible...

I see that I should have rotated the handle so that the "S2" wouldn't have been face down. It got a "shiny" and kind of disfigured appearance because of it. Either way, I very happy with it and it works great. No more having the door swing open by mistake.
Thank you BigHache for the nice work!
