⚡ Electrician’s Lock-Off Tag | Safety First LOTO Tool
Safety isn't just a suggestion—it’s the law! This 3D-printable Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTO) tag is a must-have for any electrician or DIYer working with live circuits. Designed to be highly visible and durable, this tag provides a clear warning and a secure spot for your padlock, ensuring that power stays OFF while you’re on the job.
🛑 Life-Saving Features
- High-Visibility Design: Features bold, recessed lettering for "DANGER: DO NOT OPERATE" that can be easily color-swapped (filament change) for maximum impact.
- Standard Padlock Eyelet: The reinforced hole is sized to fit standard safety padlocks and hasps, making it compatible with professional LOTO kits.
- Compact & Rugged: Slim enough to fit inside crowded breaker panels but thick enough to resist snapping or accidental removal.
⚙️ Professional Print Settings
Safety gear needs to be reliable. Follow these specs for a "Job-Site Ready" tag:
- Color Scheme: Use Red and White for a standard danger warning. For a "CAUTION" tag, use Yellow and Black.
- Material: PETG or ASA is highly recommended for its temperature resistance—breaker boxes can get warm! PLA works for temporary indoor use.
- Top/Bottom Layers: Use at least 4 layers to ensure the "Write-On" surface is solid and smooth.
- Multi-Color Tip: If you don't have an AMS, simply use a "Pause at Height" (M600) to switch colors when the text begins to print!
