Simple Multi-Function Hood/Door tool for the Duplicator 4S

thingiverse

I was fed up with having to duck when grabbing prints as my door kept dropping down and whacking me on the head - pretty simple solution but one that really paid off in the end. One of the key points for me was ensuring this new design was multifunctional, so it could double up as a latch to keep the door shut tight when needed. Built entirely using Tinkercad software, I made sure it was easy peasy to operate. Dexy's locks played a big part in creating this awesome hood attachment (check them out at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:618181). Now, for all you printing wizards out there who love simplicity - this design delivers. All you have to do is align the two pointy ends so they overlap and hold that door open like a charm when you need it to be. Not just useful for holding doors open though - I also included a hole in case you want to secure your prints, making sure everything stays locked down tight. It may not work for everyone right off the bat - there might be some minor adjustments required before it perfectly clicks into place. This latch design has proven itself super handy for those with D4S hoods on their front doors, and the results have been more than satisfactory! There are a couple of versions to print, depending on how much detailing you prefer. The one with no added features keeps things as straightforward and clean-cut as possible while still doing the job admirably. The other version includes a discreet engraving of 'D4S', adding an extra level of security when in use. Hope you enjoy this simple yet super-effective door lock solution!
