Jamz

thingiverse

I'm still learning design after three plus years, and my skills are gradually improving but I have a long way to go. The thing file shown here does not work. It's simply an example of an idea I have. I'm counting on one of you talented designers or tinkerers to bring my "Jamz" concept to life. A Jamz can be anything that can be deployed in seconds to jam a door in schools or office buildings during an active shooter situation. This device could provide precious time and possibly save a life. My initial thought was a simple wooden wedge, which I still believe is a viable idea but if a printed object like a letter-shaped wedge could be attached to a backpack or keychain, it could offer the same security as a wooden wedge and be available on Thingiverse tomorrow. Every maker out there could then print one for every member of their family. I know this isn't the ultimate solution but until we can address this critical issue, it may help save a life. Please refrain from commenting on the political aspect of this problem. We all agree that we want to keep our kids safe.
