Summary

I've been mostly printing in PLA lately and the door on my printer (PowerSpec 3D Pro) doesn't like to stay completely open. I got sick of it dropping halfway down mid-print and hitting me on the head whenever I would level the build plate...so I made this little hook to keep the door all the way open. It is not complex nor fancy but works like a charm nonetheless (and looks great with glow in the dark filament). I embedded some text into mine...but figured it'd be better to upload the plain version.

This was designed for a PowerSpec 3D Pro printer, but it should also work for many FlashForge printers as well. I believe the 3D Pro is just a rebadged Creator Pro. Also, many other FF printers use the same frame.

Orient the object upside down in your slicer and use the typical settings that your filament calls for...there shouldn't be any problems. I printed with Micro Center's  house brand glow in the dark PLA filament (be sure to install a hardened/coated nozzle when using this stuff as this filament will eat the standard brass one). My temps were 205º C for the extruder and 40º C for the build plate. I used a brim, but I don't think it's necessary. </p></div>
