Description
This is a magnetic latch for keeping the door closed on a QIDI Tech I. It should also work on many other printers like a FlashForge, Wanhao etc. It uses magnets harvested from a spent Philips Sonicare toothbrush head. These magnets are the perfect strength for this application and free. The magnets pop off easily with a small screwdriver and a hammer tap, and press fit into the holder. You can use two magnet latches, one on either side of the handle, or, if you prefer only one latch I've included a washer to keep the handle even. You'll need longer screws for this, the extras that came in the little QIDI spare parts box work perfectly.
Works great in combination with my QIDI Tech I Magnetic Hinge https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5396464
