Door Pinch Preventer - Flexible Print

See link to short video of function here: https://twitter.com/USCbutterworth/status/1102228437924687872

Keep doors cracked open with this flexible print! This will prevent fingers from being pinched or doors from being closed all the way by HVAC airflow, maintaining good airflow to your room.

It is easy to put on and take off (it just grips since it's flexible), and easy to print. See recommended print settings below.

Fusion360 and .STEP files are also provided here, in case you require some customization.

I printed this in AmazonBasics TPU: https://amzn.to/2HhBjwt (affiliate link, products purchased through this link help support me at no additional cost to you!). It's average quality, and relatively stiff still, but easy to work with.

Note: if your part seems to loosen over time or at cooler temperatures, place it on top of the door as shown in the picture.
