TIL+ Opening Door: Prison Door (with Standalone Version)

thingiverse

I've been crafting my TIL+ walls for the Resident Evil 2 board game (which features a door per wall set) and someone suggested a prison door. The idea seemed like a great concept to me, so I decided to put this project together! This Thing has both the TIL+ version that slots into columns and the standalone version that can be used without the walls. I aimed to make this FDM-friendly by tapering the horizontal bars on the bottom, allowing it to only require a very narrow bridge first (which will also be short due to the bars), and then built upon to get out to the full size. I printed mine with .1 mm layers, though I believe these should print well up to .2 mm layers. The gaps around the hinges are .2 mm, so if you use larger layers, there's a good chance that the hinges will be fused with the door. Even with my .1 mm layers, I have to give the doors a good wiggle the first time I open them to get them to release from the other layers. As always, the original .blend file for this model is available to my patrons at https://patreon.com/VirtuallyJason.
