Sears Compact Garage Remote Button Guard

thingiverse

I kept accidentally pressing the remote button when the control was in my pocket. The most aggravating incidents were when I had the tailgate door of my SUV open and accidentally closed the garage door, scratching the tailgate door. I got fed up and created this button guard. I created two versions: button_guard_long.stl which exposes the main button and button_guard_short.stl which exposes all three buttons. It's tight enough to keep it from accidentally sliding along the remote, but loose enough to manipulate with one hand. It was designed so that the long version stops at the label "pocket" on the back of the remote. The short version doesn't seem to stop at the label pocket as well as the long version. Install it from the "keyring" end.
