Finger Clasp

thingiverse

This is a clasp for holding a plywood door closed. You might be able to hold the lid on a box, but I think you would have to design a new slider that would come down from the top so that it doesn't slide out. I call it a finger clasp because it looks like a finger holding on to the door. The part is a little bit rough-and-ready - definitely not for high-class furniture. I use the part to hold the door on my print cabinet. You can't lock this clasp. The parts can be printed without support and they are made entirely out of plastic. There is no metal in the hinges. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa i3 ZRIB Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3 mm Infill: 30% Notes: There is support designed in to the hinge. It's fused by four fine radials between the moving parts, so you will need to force the hinge after you print it. Post-Printing Wear the designed-in support away. I put the screw tab in a vise and pulled on the finger. The radials gave way and I just pulled the finger a bunch of times to wear them off. It sounded a bit like a fart, I guess. The parts are meant to be held on using #6 wood screws with countersunk heads.
