Education Lock and Pins - Resized - More Pins

thingiverse

I've taken a remix of FrenchKey_fr's education lock and pins and given it a fresh twist. A lip has been added to the bottom of the lock body, ensuring that the core stays firmly in place and preventing it from falling out the back. Two tabs have also been incorporated to apply tension to the core with precision. The body bible (spring area) has been trimmed down to accommodate a smaller spring, resulting in reduced print time and material usage. Bevels have been added to all pins to align with industry-standard design. This version features serrated, T, mushroom, spool, and standard driver pins on top, along with two lengths of key pins at the bottom. For optimal results, use a 20mm key pin for all drivers except the T-pin, which requires a 26mm key pin. All parts are printed at 100% scale with proper clearances, allowing for smooth turning and sliding without any need for sanding or scraping. The back of the lock body, where the core sits, is intentionally left mostly empty to prevent excess friction on the core when turning. This design utilizes a 10mm x 35mm spring from the local hardware store (cost about $0.70), but any 10mm wide spring with an appropriate length will work. Don't forget to post Makes! I love seeing how things turn out on different printers and colors.
