Yesterday I finally took the plunge and downloaded Blender and started learning how to use it. I have been #3dprinting for a while but mostly I just print designs others have created, or made a few very simple designs using TinkerCad. But I finally found a project small enough to feel manageable and the time to do it.
We have a sliding barn-style door in our kitchen that our two toddlers insist on slamming shut, often while the other one is in the doorway. I decided to design a simple clamp to fit on the top to keep it from closing. Here is the evolution of the design. The first was the wrong size and just fell off, the second added a little hat to keep it from sliding off but quickly broken, so the third beefed up the thickness and infill to make it stronger.
And here's a video showing how it fits on:
I'm already working on a second design to toddler-proof a couple of our cabinet drawers that the regular spring locks wouldn't fit on. This may be a slippery slope.
