3d printing adventures volume 2. Part 1: door stop. Random model I downloaded was too big for my printer, so I shrank it without measuring. Shrank too much, so had to design and print a little pad to glue on. Well it works.pic.twitter.com/D78a8TcYYJ

Installed... but le sigh... guess I measured badly. Off by like 2mm and didn’t clamp. BUT had this random bit of scrap plastic lying around because I’ve been lazy about tossing stuff. This was tie down strap for a set of socket wrenches I bought recently and only just opened.pic.twitter.com/PteeT3qe3o
So cut off one of those stemmy bits and jammed it into clearance space. Perfect. The whiteboard even happens to have grooves there that make it fit neatly.pic.twitter.com/2WIvMBJse5

Cheapest I found on amazon is $14.95 for a 10-pack, so $1.49... so this is about 33% cheaper. Plus I only need to print 1 and don’t have to buy 10. The singles are really expensive and most are 4 packs at least.https://www.amazon.com/Stoppers-Minimalist-Neoprene-Resistant-gripping/dp/B07YD58YLQ/ref=sr_1_24?_encoding=UTF8&c=ts&dchild=1&keywords=Door+Stops&qid=1598935129&sr=8-24&ts_id=1069196 …
