Yeah, The .stl is spot on in size and appearance. To combat my boredom from retirement, I did a print today using PETG (I was out of ABS). I used the best setting I could find (.1 mm layer height, 100% Fill, supports, and brim).
The finished door looked great. After careful removal of the supports, I tried it. One of the side supports broke almost immediately. It still holds on well with a single support. The side clips are too weak using PETG (and based on the designers comments PLA). I believe I can redesign it slightly with a slightly different side supports/clips or as single screw to secure the lid into the case. The screw could make it more difficult to change the batteries.

Any pics? any links from where you bought it? I'm positive one that could survive many many openings could be made with the right technique. On Wed, Aug 18, 2021 at 10:20 PM Robert J.

I tried a 3D printed one from ThingVerse, but the tabs broke after removing it a couple of times… So if anyone has one to sell please let me know. Thank you Robert
