Claw Foot Doorstop

Imagine a sleek, modern claw-shaped doorstop that blends function with aesthetics. The design features a gently curved, three-fingered claw with smooth, polished surfaces that taper to a firm but non-damaging grip on the floor. The claw appears as if it’s playfully gripping the ground, providing a secure hold for your door.

Crafted with clean lines and a minimalist feel, this doorstop could double as a desk ornament, resembling a creature’s claw emerging from the surface. A matte or lightly textured finish keeps it from being too flashy while maintaining a clean look.

For extra versatility, it could be weighted slightly for stability or printed in high-quality materials like PLA+, PETG, or even a metallic-infused filament for a stylish edge.  This could suit any modern workspace while being an eye-catching conversation piece.

This model consist of two types of filament

•  PLA /PETG for the claw part itself
• TPU for the grips on the underside and the flat top
• NOTE:  PLA will still fit together but the top and bottom of the model wont grip and the tolerances are much tighter
