you only opened the door so far, open them all the way, I feel the gap between the floor and the door gets tighter as you open the door further. If I am incorrect please disregard and I beg your pardon.
You are correct. In the video, there was a problem, but I later resolved it by adding a cardboard amound of distance between the floor and the 3D printed cover.
First, you should have printed that on its side where possible appropriate so, that the layer lines are not horizontal, because that is where it would snap. Second, your floor probably isn't consistently level, you could have designed the plastic part to slide up and down, to accommodate the floor, so that doors could open completely. Overall, 3D print is a wrong tool for this job (and any job that requires large flat or long surfaces is better done with wood, plywood, or heavy cardboard stock). If something _can_ be done through 3D printing, it doesn't mean it _should_ be done with 3D printer. A single wood piece cut to size with a single hand saw would be infinitely more durable, environmentally friendly, probably cheaper, and easier to replace + can be painted easier to natch the door. It also could be made to slide if need be (or just be hung by the bicycle rubber tire). So there, just my 2 cents.
Yep, wood would have been more durable and better, but the 3D-printed solution was good too. And yes, the spacing in the video is not ideal, but I have fixed that by incorporating a cardboard thickness amount of spacing. The main crux of this video is to show that with 3D printing, you can create useful items that can solve your problems. Your suggestion is about having a sliding and down system is great. Thank you for your input
The easiest solution is to get one of those very cheap rubber things you can glue to the door. They always make pressure against the floor so it's actually pretty well sealed and since it's rubber it's flexible and will adapt to changes in floor elevation. Still a great project!
Two screws one by the hinges as a pivot point and another on the opposire edge. Then print the piece in a wedge shape with a groo ve. Then put the groove over the screw on the outside of the door ans the pivot side on the hinge side of the door. Then as you open the door it will slide up or down if the elevation changes. Might work might not but hey its better than just telling you to not to do anything at all
