Removable aluminum door panel design
Hi all,
I’ve been working on designing a door panel for one of the bran doors to be able to mount/strap/bungy a variety of things to all while being able to easily remove the panel from the door without tools if needed to better secure items to it.
I took some measurements of one of the barn doors, to be able to use six existing factory holes in the door and designed a panel on a cad program. I had my design cut out of aluminum. I then designed and 3D printed some spaces to have stainless hex nuts recessed into them and a wing nut style knob that also has a hex next recessed for the tool-less removal of the panel if needed. Also no drilling required for installation!
I still need to do a bit of sanding on the panel before sending it to powder coat and might redesign the 3D printed part of the wing nut.
