Door latch holder

[amuse @amuse My Robox is a Blue Commercial Version]

At first day playing with my Robox I ran into situation that I wanted to open the door but it was locked. I thought that this is the first and last time with this problem, I’m the one that decides if the door is locked or not. So I designed quick and dirty solution to hold the door latch in open position. It is not the most elegant part but it works and so it has been in place since. I can’t remember the settings that I printed it with, but probably fine with support and quite high infill ratio…

I have read in couple of threads that people wave had similar problems, so here is a one solution for that.

Great. Now I can ditch business card I hold next to printer for ’emergency’ latch release! 🙂

Nice idea! you’ve got me thinking about other door latch mods now . . . wonder if it can be rigged up to @pyropetepete ‘s party claymore device, so it fires a burst of party poppers when a long print has finally finished 😉

The interlocking feature on the door is for safety see 1.6 in the manual

I will hold on to my right to burn my fingers if I wish to do so. 😉

Amuse, did you turn on the support function to do the wider overhanging part?

[amuse @amuse My Robox is a Blue Commercial Version]

Yep, support was turned on. You might need to show it a file or a exacto knife to remove the support material.

Part is not that professionally designed, because I did not have a caliper at hand when I draw it, but it fits in and does it’s job so…

Made it last night, it works well. Requires a bit of dressing but all fine.

Thanks
