Printed with TPU-95 this is NOT for PLA. Other flex/semi-flex filaments would work as well although I have not tried (I am thinking other TPU's, nylon, or flex PLAs). In TPU with a solid wood door a good hit causes about 1/8"-1/4" (3mm-6mm) deflection. The top sphere absorbs most of the shock.
These doorstops are designed to match the original wooden doorstops that are to a colonial revival style (early 1900's) house. These look the same as the originals from the side although the mounting method is different since no one would hollow a wooden stop as i did to get the right stiffness/material savings.
The doorstop is 2.75" (about 70mm) tall. The pilot hole is for a #8 wood screw ( .175", 4.45mm) sorry metric folks, I am sure some metric wood screw works (only metric machine screws are available in the USA so i have no idea what sizes you can get). I ended up using a #6 drywall screw because they have a large flat head relative to shank size and also noted a #9 framing scr
