Magnetic Door Latch

cults3d

This is a magnetic latch for keeping the door closed on a QIDI Tech I. It should also work on many other printers like a FlashForge, Wanhao etc. It uses magnets harvested from a spent Philips Sonicare toothbrush head. These magnets are the perfect strength for this application and free. The magnets pop off easily with a small screwdriver and a hammer tap, and press fit into the holder. You can use two magnet latches, one on either side of the handle, or, if you prefer only one latch I've included a washer to keep the handle even. You'll need longer screws for this, the extras that came in the little QIDI spare parts box work perfectly.
