Autolocking Carabiner

thingiverse

Magnetic locking carabiner, the gate automatically locks when closed. To open it, just touch the magnetic key to the 5mm ball, which will effortlessly trigger its release. Alternatively, simply rotate the 5mm ball counterclockwise to liberate the lock and access the carabiner. For your convenience, here's a direct link to the demonstration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghseuQEzrwk You'll need these specific parts to create this design: * A 5mm magnetic sphere * One 3mm magnetic sphere * Two cylinder magnets measuring 4x10mm each * A carabiner gate and a small magnet are required for proper assembly. Now, let's assemble the locking carabiner. First, place the 3mm sphere into the hole at the base of the gate and insert the 5mm sphere into the hole directly above the gate. Make sure both spheres have free rotation. Next, carefully position the cylinder magnet inside the carabiner gate so it can move up and down smoothly without friction. As you close the gate, one end of the cylinder should engage with the 5mm ball magnet and automatically lock it. However, there's an easy alternative to disengaging the lock: touch one tip of the second cylinder to the opposite side of the 5mm magnetic ball, which will effortlessly rotate it back to its original position, releasing the carabiner gate. If that approach doesn't work immediately, try using the other end. Last but not least, place the final 4x10mm cylindrical magnet into a tiny compartment (usually small or with tiny edges) inside your print bed, then insert last cylindrical component part correctly on magnetic ball lock so carabiner remains secure even when closed and you can retrieve them whenever desired.
