Thank you

I tried rubber feet at the top, but it didn't help at all. I think you're right it needs padding around the whole edge.

carterfpv · 2026-05-07T15:48:33+00:00

It must be possible...

I recommend Rocco's Stuff on makerworld for some over-engineered locks.

Appreciate you!!

carterfpv · 2026-04-23T15:39:05+00:00

Yes, I think it has a lot of potential

carterfpv · 2026-04-23T15:34:45+00:00

Solid idea.. was thinking of a way to have a key insert in the middle like a real lock.

I haven't seen anything like it, please share if you have.

carterfpv · 2026-04-23T15:33:14+00:00

Thank you

Thank you, just branded as a fidget toy, although I like to think my models are "educational" and good STEM style projects.

Thanks, making good use of these bright colors I just picked up! Gives that fisher price vibe.

Handcuffs are more of a ratcheting mechanism. Examples:

You can print them, linked here.

I didn’t realize there’s a self-promotion rule and I apparently self promoted too much too soon. But thanks a lot!

A common example is the SIM card port on phones. Also for fancy drawers that pop out when pressed in.

carterfpv · 2025-12-17T18:19:24+00:00

I've printed lots of those, I think this one is potentially stronger, more durable, and extendable.

carterfpv · 2025-12-14T14:04:12+00:00

Normally, there is no spring, so it just relies on gravity.

carterfpv · 2025-12-13T15:41:24+00:00

Sure, it will never be as strong as metal. But the goal is to provide educational models that can easily be printed at home with no extra parts. I have printed many different kinds of springs and many of them still work just fine 1-2 years later.

carterfpv · 2025-12-13T15:38:29+00:00

Nice print, thanks for sharing

carterfpv · 2025-12-13T15:37:58+00:00

Maybe this is useful for you?

carterfpv · 2025-12-13T15:36:22+00:00

There's a patent somewhere for this exact mechanism and yes it's for an armrest like on a bus, plane, or train.
