SEE my remixed version.
If you have French or Double doors that have a spring loaded ball bearing latch. You will know how much of a pain they are. Always in need of adjustment and always there is one that looses it's ball or spring. I decided to rid myself of these blasted things and here is my replacement. Due to wear I think ABS would be the best but I used PLA on the first ones.
I used 15% Infill and yes, you will NEED supports I used "lines" and a dremel flat grind wheel to clean up.
I included the original source 123D file.
For a 5mm space in the door jam I used a 15 Degree tilt on the top. I guess that a 10 Degree would give you 3.5 mm spacing.
I'm sure a remix would be a good idea. maybe a key line in the round base to enforce the device to always point towards the door close direction. but you would have to cut a grove for this key in the door's wood. I didn't want to do that just yet. Maybe a future revision will be exactly that.
Enjoy, I'm just happy to return to the community what they have given me with some great shared designs.
