Problem:
I live in a house that's well over a hundred years old, and one of the bumpers from an old doorstop finally just disintegrated from age. I could have gone to a big box store and bought a cheap replacement doorstop, but what's the challenge in that?
123D Design
I modeled this in 123D Design using only primitive shapes. A lip was included on the end so it would snap in place like the original one did. No adhesives required.
I'm including the 123D file in case someone would like to modify the bumper.
Printing:
I used white Ninjaflex TPE filament at 245C, printing at 10 mm/sec on my Printrbot Metal Plus. It has just the right amount of "give". Not too soft and not too hard.
