Simple Unibody Padlock

thingiverse

My goal was to design an easy to print padlock with an unibody housing, as simple as possible and working. The padlock exists of only 3 parts, the shakle, the housing and the key. No assembling is required. Only slide the shakle into the body and the padlock is locked. To open the padlock, insert the key completely into the four holes at the bottom of the body with a little pressure and the Padlock will be unlocked.But please don't touch the shakle while plugging in the key! If you import all three parts into you favorite slicer, you can print all parts at the same time. The files are coming in 2 different sizes, "_100" is the original design size. But I found out, that also the 80% size version " _80" works very well, is more handy and faster to print. So my tip ist, first print the 80% version and only if you need also the 100% version, print the others. In my opinion, the strength of the smaller one is also very nice EDIT: Added V2 of the body, made a little bit thicker for more stability. Feel free to use the thinner version, if you want a slimmer padlock, or the V2 for more stability. Also added the Openscad source for your own remixes (The objects are not at the same hight, so please uncomment each single part, render it and export to STL)! https://youtu.be/o3LjTlPvVLw If you like it, I would be happy about a small donation: BTC: 196xDkgLFriXAUD6dRA29hnc4scJCegSHC LTC: Lf7knJybejySmV4oMhfCuZrjvFWjrGtd4u
