push-open spring mount for wardrobe

thingiverse

I'm designing a mount for push-pull spring mechanisms that fit snugly into my closet's shelves. The spring mechanism itself measures 80mm long by 10mm wide, but I've found that the bottom tip doesn't quite fit through an 11mm hole, so some tape wrapping or slight adjustments to the x and y axis in your slicer might be necessary. In most cases, you'd drill holes into the shelves for the mechanisms to slide into, but since my shelves aren't thick enough, this mount provides a solution. You should be able to print this design without supports. Print Settings: Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: Prusa Clone Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Notes: To get the best results, print this design standing up with a brim. I used 100% infill for my print, but it's likely not necessary - a 50% infill would probably work just as well without significantly increasing the print time in Cura.
