<p>See the video on Vimeo:<br/> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://vimeo.com/393188864"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>This is an automatic door-closer based on (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2690245">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2690245</a>) and an idea of "Lipifuss" (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1843944">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1843944</a>).</p> <p>I like things, that don't need any stuff else (like bearings etc.),<br/> 'cause what I have always here is filament, all other stuff I have to order and that takes time...</p> <p>So I decided to make my own version of "Automatic Door-Closer" with no need of bearings. The only thing you'll need is your 3D-Printer, some filament and, ok, three screws!</p> <p>See the video on Vimeo:<br/> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://vimeo.com/393188864"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>What to do:</p> <ol> <li>Print bearings (2x) -<br/> there are two Versions, both should work fine. V1 with integrated spacer, V2 just the bearing (I used V2 with no problems)</li> <li>Print box and box-cap</li> <li>Take first screw an drive it into your door</li> <li>Take second and third screw and mount your bearings as you can see it in the video on the frame of your door.</li> <li>Fill in sand or other heavy stuff in the box</li> <li>Use some wool or thread (or better fishing line) to connect the screw in your door with your box. Be sure to thread the wool through the bearings</li> </ol> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Maybe you have to turn the models to the right direction. There is no need for support.</p> <p>Infill: 50%<br/> Layer height: 0.2mm</p>
