Garden Shed Doorstop - Magnetic

Garden Shed Doorstop - Magnetic

I have one shed door that continually closes on me and makes putting my lawn mower in the shed a pain.  Always propping it open with something.  This was my answer to that problem

Great for your shed, barn, garage or other outdoor building door.

The stop stays in the up position with the use of two 10mmx3mm magnets.  These give a nice hold keeping it out of the way but is easy to deploy.  The magnets go in tight (and add some glue) so expect to use a bit of force.  

The assembly is held together with a ¼" x 1 ¼" bolt and nylock nut.  6mm hardware (30-35mm length) would work as well.  #8 screws or equivalent work well for installation on the mounting surface.

The print profile has been adjusted for each part individually at the object level.  Each one prints with a different number of walls and different infill settings.  This allows for making the parts that will see more stress stronger.

I have added a profile for an extra long leg for the stop for doors that are a bit higher or gates.

Installation tip:  Don't guess where the magnetic saddle goes that holds the stop up.  Stick the magnets together once the main part of the stop is installed and screw it in.  It does the aligning for you.
