Box Clasp

thingiverse

This thing is a box clasp. The catch and clasp screw onto a wooden box. The clasp grabs the catch and when clicked closed will keep a box closed until the clasp is lifted. The clasp includes textured finger surface and easy to lift opening. The clasp has been designed to cover the mechanism for a discrete and professional looking latch. This thing is also designed to be printed in a single print with no assembly of the sub-parts required. All moving parts will easily rotate once supports have been removed. Print Settings Printer Brand: Wanhao Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Infill: 40% Notes: This part is best printed as shown in the .STL and .F3D files. It has been oriented correctly in the model for best printing. You will need to add supports for printing but try to use the least amount of support necessary. I have included a support file for Simplify3d that will give you successful results. How I Designed This My wife asked me for a blanket box to put under the bed. So I designed the box and then needed some hinges and a lock/clasp. I designed this clasp based on a dog clamp I have in the workshop, to understand the mechanism. There are other similar clasps but they are all open. I thought it would be nice to have closed clasp that is neat and tidy.
