Description
Replaces the non-TSA compliant lock with something the still helps hold my pre-TSA lock luggage closed while filling the hole left from my removing the old non-compliant lock. Can be turned with a key or just about anything flat. Prints as 1 piece, break apart. Snap Ring holds it together. The original nut was used to pressure fit and cut threads.
I printed using PETG-CF at 100% fill on a Prusa XL. Might be overkill, but I tried to pry the case open and failed. I'm sure some leverage would break it. It is also possible to punch it into the case popping the snap ring… but it takes an effort. It's a hole plug and latch. Not a lock.
