This is a simple safety mechanism that I designed to prevent a stove from being turned on when people lean against it.

When I have parties in my apartment, people tend to lean against the stove and accidentally turn the gas on. Obviously, this is bad. The Stove Stopper 3000 fits snugly between the knob and the stove face-plate to prevent the knob from being depressed, and therefore, from turning.

I've printed these on my MakerBot Thing-O-Matic with 15% infill. You'll need to click the "mm->inches" button on the "Scale" page of the ReplicatorG object viewer.

stove stopper.stl is for the burner dials. stove stopper-tall.stl is for the oven dial.

Enjoy the smell (or lack thereof) associated with your house not potentially exploding!
