Magnetic brackets for Flashforge Creator Pro Door

thingiverse

I created this and printed for 3 reasons: 1st: Wanted to print something because I can :) 2nd: Was tired of having blue tape hold my door closed 3rd: Please refer back to #1 These brackets are placed anywhere you like around the door of your bot. All you need is: A couple of magnets about 3mm in diameter ( You can get them at Home Depot or Harbor Freight) about $2.75 a pack . A Cabinet door Magnet ( $.78 at HomeDepot) 2 Part Epoxy Resin ( I guess anything that till hold them to the door will work) These are the places I bought the items. I am sure any home improvement store will carry them as well. Instructions Print out the bracket. Press in the magnets ( might need to trim up a little) Measure where you will place the brackets and drill two small wholes so that the bolts and nuts you choose will fit. I used the bolts and nuts that came as extras with my printer. Any bolts and nuts will do. After drilling and seeing where you want them placed, you can then press the nuts of the bolts into the bracket. Break apart the casing for the magnets that are for the cabinets you bought at the Hardware store. Inside you will find two pieces of metal and a magnet. ( see pic) I, grinded the metal plates in order to scuff them up a little. This gets them ready for the epoxy. Place the metal plates on some tape and then apply a small amount of epoxy to them. Let them sit for a minute. Once sticky, place the metal plates on the brackets, tape side towards the magnet, to align them. Then just close the door and press for a few minutes. You should be able to lift the door and press the tape on the printers door to hold the metal plates in-place until the epoxy cures.
