Step-on door stopper [my garage improvement]

cults3d

Another one of my outdoor-tested designs that has defied the elements remarkably well. The door stopper is a piece of equipment designed to hold the door open by utilizing a tension spring. It performs best on rough terrain, but if you have a slippery floor surface, try putting rubber at the base. You'll need a 5 cm long spring or in my case two one-inch springs. A rubber band will also do the trick, although it may not last as long. The spring's pivot is slightly off center, so it tends to always move into an up or down position. It holds firmly in each position – when it’s up, it stays up, and when it’s down, it stays down. The model in the pictures is printed with ABS at a layer height of 0.2 mm and a printing margin of 0.25 mm. You can access a public Fusion 360 link to modify the printing margin parameter here: https://a360.co/2J3p2uk May the force of the spring be with you.
