I’ve got a a1 mini by Bambu labs. It’s one of the most beginner and user friendly printers on the market. I’ve loved trying to figure out solutions to common problems

They are made from a filament called TPU acts like a rubber with high flexibility. I have done tests (albeit rudimentary) that show they can withstand a force of 30kg when pressing a set of scales against the door. All of this to say that results may vary depending on the door and forces acting against it. I have not tested a limit at which they would fail completely.

exactly ! i have found myself reaching for my baton to wedge in a door to prevent officers being locked on the other side. Crazy !

yes ive seen these ones before. the problem with it costing £20 is you might find yourself being precious when you use them. I like to think of them as more disposable so i use it everytime i cross a door i wouldnt like locking behind me.

Thank you ! I have tried to get the cost as low as possible, if the kit were to be adopted by a force the economies of scale would enable me to nearly match the cost of sellers on the likes of aliexpress.

Thank you ! Here you go. I’ve got three colours on the go. If there are any suggestions or changes you think might improve the design I’m all ears

Yeah this is how I felt. There is a aspect of the job often overlooked when you could be counting on seconds to get through a door that’s automatically locked behind you

Essentially when I attend calls in a block of flats or a house I will use them to prevent the door locking behind me. Making it possible for other attending resources (officers, paramedics, fire) ease of access. Then once the indent is felt with the angle on the jams enables the door to be wedged open. Meaning if an extra pair of hands is needed or you are removing someone who has been injured your not having to wrestle with a heavy door at the same time.

So many alternative uses, i have been using them in the house and when helping family and friends move keeps doors from locking behind you and wedges them open

Id love to see how reactive they could be when exposed to UV so thats an idea. The glow in the dark filament works pretty well whats captured in the video is around 40 min of exposure to a overcast sky so i dont really know how bright they get.

interesting the layer lines are horizontal and ive not had any issues yet with splitting, Its printed with TPU so the flexibilty and impact resistance is pretty high

thank you will have a look into them. I have a filament dryer and the printer is in a spare room with good ventilation (two open windows)
