Chain or String Barrier / Simple Latch

thingiverse

I whipped up a simple hook/latch for my workspace to keep people from straying into areas they shouldn't be in. I kept the design straightforward - just attach the hook to one side, tie some cord or chain to it, and then connect a pin to the other end. Simply slide the pin into the hole and you're good to go. I fastened some string to the hook, trimmed a nail to use as the latch, and slapped up a warning sign on the string. It prints beautifully without needing any supports.
