Realistic Handcuffs

September 13, 2022
Description
This is a pair of realistic Handcuffs I designed off of a picture I found on the internet.
They feature a button activated double lock. After activating the double lock turn the key in one direction to unlock the lock then the other direction to unlock the cuff.
Note- With the double lock engaged it is suppose to keep the cuffs from tighten up but with the inherent flex of the bow from being made of plastic it can still tighten if forced hard enough. The bottom button is also a little weak so if it doesn't engage you may have to sand the mating surfaces of the pawl and bolt so they slide easier. This will all depend on your printer and settings.
Mirror these parts in your slicer for second Cuff

- Handcuff_Casing_Face.STL
- Handcuff_Lock_Bolt_Button.STL
Hardware Required for Assembly
- (10) #4-40 x 1/4" Button Head Screws
- 1.75 Filament for (3) Pins

If you have any questions or problems with the files or fitment of the parts just let me know and I will try to fix them.
Remember to tip your ~~waiters~~ designers if you like the service.... thanks for looking.

Misc. Notes
Layout out of internal parts. Use (3) pieces of 1.75mm Filament x .40" long for the pins. I tapped the holes with a 4-40 tap before inserting the screws.
I printed the assembled STL of the chain and swivels with supports as shown. I have included the separate individual piece so you can print them any way you would like.
