XYZ Printing DaVinci 1.0 PRO Door Switch Holder - Leave In Place

A quick remix of the oh-so-helpful [XYZ Printing DaVinci PRO Door Switch Holder](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1141414) by [Thebak3](https://www.thingiverse.com/Thebak3/about). Now you don't have to remove it to close the door! Also, check out [This thing](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2806079) by [Threedee Bus Driver](https://www.thingiverse.com/Threedee_Bus_Driver) for a similar solution for the top door. **Important:** This installs upside-down (or bed-side up). It will not work the other way. Also, when installing, be sure to slide it in at an angle, with the front as far down as it will go, then slip the back over, otherwise the nub will end up above the button, and you will have to try again for it to work. **What I changed:** * Trimmed down the inside of the back. I had to remove over a millimeter of material from the original to get it to fit, but this fit right off the build plate, after the usual trimming of imperfections, of course. * Reduced the width of the two side bars. I have a set of [Hole Plugs](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:620677) installed, and with the original width it just barely scraped against the plug in that corner, so I trimmed 1mm off. * Significantly thinned the part that pushes the button. It is now thin enough that it doesn't interfere with normal operation of the door, so you can just pop it in and forget about it. I designed this part of it for printing at .3mm layer height, so it may not work if you print at a different height. I had to sand down the top of the thin portion, just enough to get rid of the roughness, for it to sit snugly. * Made the back part taller. It goes down to the floor inside the printer for added stability. I found that this makes it stay in place very well. Just in case you don't want that, I've included a "thin" version that doesn't have it. * Trimmed the button pusher. This version is more sensitive to orientation (it's designed to be installed with the ridge on the bottom), so I made the button-pushing nub smaller, now it won't push the button if installed upside-down. This change is less necessary in the thin version, but I kept it there for consistency. * Rounded some of the corners. Prints can be sharp. This one still is, but in fewer places. * Fought a deadly dinosaur invasion. I didn't have to, but it was fun, so I did it anyway. This likely had no effect on the model. * Converted the model to millimeters. Every slicer I've ever seen defaults to millimeters, so it just makes sense to model in them. **What I didn't change:** * It holds down the door button for you. That's the only reason it was useful, why would I change it? * It does not hold down the top door button. [This thing](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2806079) by [Threedee Bus Driver](https://www.thingiverse.com/Threedee_Bus_Driver) does do that though, and you should totally check it out. * The conciseness of this thing's name. It's still ridiculously long. * The second law of thermodynamics. Unfortunately, this thing will not prevent the [heat death of the universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe), nor can it create infinite, free energy. Sorry.
