Autolocking Carabiner

cults3d

Magnetic locking carabiner, the gate instantly clicks into place when closed. To unlock it, simply touch the magnetic key to the 5mm ball and watch as it releases its hold. Alternatively, you can rotate the 5mm ball to manually override the lock. To see this incredible mechanism in action, check out our video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghseuQEzrwk Here's what you'll need: * 1 - 5mm ball magnet * 1 - 3mm ball magnet * 2 - 4x10mm cylinder magnet Now let's get to the assembly process: First, insert the 3mm sphere into the hole at the base of the gate and the 5mm sphere into the hole above it. Make sure both magnets can rotate freely. Next, insert one end of the cylinder magnet into the carabiner gate. It should slide in smoothly without any friction. As you close the gate, the cylinder magnet will naturally move up to the 5mm ball magnet, locking the carabiner securely. To unlock it, simply touch the other end of the second cylinder magnet to the 5mm ball. This will rotate the ball and release the lock. Finally, insert the last cylinder magnet into the key, making sure it's oriented correctly so that it can unlock the carabiner. For this project, you'll need the following filaments: * Atomic Filament Sapphire Blue Discount PLA * Atomic Filament Midnight Sky Discount PLA * Colorfabb Transparent Red PLA You can find more information about these filaments on Thrinter.com.
