Compliant Latching Mechanism

Compliant Latching Mechanism

thingiverse

This is a design for a compliant mechanism that allows you to latch two objects together. The "insert" file should be used as negative space for the latch to be inserted into. A moderate tug will remove the latch from the hole, but it has enough tension to hold it fairly snugly otherwise. Ideally you would use a generative approach to model stress-points. Admittedly I have no idea how/where this will break.
