Description

For situations and people that may only have one hand free this simple quick clasp serves the purpose of a traditional button but adds a little flair and convenience.

Options:

  • Left, and Right handed variations provided.
  • Option A has a large easy to grasp loop to latch and unlatch the mechanism
  • Option B has a more subtle button to latch and unlatch the mechanism. 
  • Pre-sliced files are also provided, utilizing mostly stock MK3s Prusa Slicer settings 

As always I will promote and REWARD the first people to post quality makes (must enable “Donate” option on your profile for reward). A quality make is a successful, complete, hopefully decent looking print at 100% scale.

Print with 4 walls and no supports-recommended to print at 100 scale in PLA,: of note petg and other less stiff materials may not work as intended, also rescaling will change the mechanical characteristics and may interfere with intended functionality.

Very much inspired by and built on the back of the compliant mechanism research of Fabian Veile credit to him for his creative works, they are ongoing source of inspiration for what is possible in 3d printing. Please check him out here:
