Description
This is a simple magnetic catch for holding open light objects such as gates and cupboard doors. You screw each half to the two objects and then glue a magnet in place over the screw. The STL file assumes a 12mm x 1.5mm magnet with a 3.5 x 16mm wood screw. However, I have included the Fusion360 file which is parametric so you can adjust accordingly. Note, allow some clearance of the diameter of the magnet plus allow it to be slightly proud of the front face of the holder.
I printed it in white PLA, no supports or anything fancy needed
