Description
I wanted something simple to hold the door when it's all the way open with the 270 hinge mod. The original by Derrick printed great, but I discovered it doesn't work with the version of the hinge I printed (Diablo's + my own remix). The door sits a lot more forward when it's all the way open, so the latch was nowhere near the door. There's a chance this can work for other 270 hinges too. Just as well, it'll work even if you've changed the design of your door handle. The clearance for the cold pull holder hole is super tight, but after a few times it will loosen up (I didn't want it swinging too much). Make sure your printer is accurate if you want to use the hole. So, it's a door latch and a cold pull tool hanger/holder. Don't be like me and forget to use supports for the cold pull hanger. I got lucky, but it isn't the prettiest print – make sure to use supports .

That's a sign of that area getting stressed, so I recommend printing this in something more flexible like PETG. I think you'll be alright with whatever material you choose though. Note: There are different variations of the corner hole patterns on the side frame starting with the K1C. It's been reported that some newer K1's got the updated hole pattern too, so measure what you got. If the holes are about 20mm apart, this should work for you. BOM 2x M3x8mm screws
