MakerBot 2X : Automatic Door Latch
Description
Due To The Camera I Recently Attached To The Front Door Of My Makerbot (Details Of Which Can Be Found On My Profile), The Added Mass Prevents The Door From Remaining Open. To Overcome This I Decided To Design A Latch Which Would Automatically Hold The Door Open, When Needed. It Mounts To The 2X Using The Existing External Bolt Holes, However Requires Longer Bolts. A 3Mm Metal Rod Is Also Used As The Axis. To Make It Automatic, A Spring Is Also Added. At Rest The Latch Is In The Closed Position. Https://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=V0Mlv1Ckca0
