Cooler Clasp or Latch (Igloo)

pinshape

I replaced my broken cooler with a new one I designed myself. It was printed using my Taz 5 3D printer, which comes equipped with a FlexyDually printhead. To create it, I used a total of 1 meter of NinjaFlex and 4 meters of ABS filament. The "everywhere support" setting in the print settings is absolutely necessary for this design to work correctly. The entire printing process takes around 3.5 hours to complete. To ensure a strong bond between the two different materials, I overlapped them by about 1mm during the printing process. As I was printing, I found it essential to pause at layer 14 to activate the second head that is used for printing with NinjaFlex, allowing me to achieve high-quality flexible prints. Additionally, an Ooze shield must be employed. If you are using Cura software, make sure to load CoolerClaspSolid first, followed by CoolerClaspFlex, and then right-click on solid to choose dual extrusion merge. After going through this process, I ended up with a cooler clasp that is significantly stronger and longer-lasting than the original one.
