Description

Reliable and strong Latch Slide Lock created using a compliant mechanism.
You can choose between wall-mounting with screws or adhesive like glue and between three different aesthetic “Pin” options.


Printing tips:

The "Slider" component is recommended to be 3D printed with rigid materials like PLA, while other parts can be printed with PLA, PETG, or similar materials.

The mechanism operates smoothly and decisely even without lubricants, however if desired, i reccomend not to use WD40 as it may increase friction with PLA polimer.

 

Assembly tips:
It is very difficult to remove the “pin” once inserted, so insert it when everything is yet mounted in place.

Replying to @stefanogiannini :
Hi I gave it another try today and the problem is still the same. The parts just don't fit together without adding some champfers to the slider and then they still get stuck quite often. After checking your print profile I realised, that you use higher temperatures in your "generic pla" profile than I do. Bed temperature is at 70°C (I have 55°C) and nozzle temp is at 230°C (I have 220°C) so I could imagine this makes some difference in accuracy. the pla was just too soft to hold its shape.
