Gate Catch

prusaprinters

<p>My back gate's latch is a bit wonky and the wind has taken its toll on it. Was using a bent coat hanger to secure it, but knew I could do better. So I model and printed this. Maybe it will be an inspiration for you to make things that are useful to you.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>I300Pro</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.26mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>15%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>2 shells.</p> Trying out MakerGeek's Raptor high-temp PLA. We'll see how well it holds up to the elements. May redo eventually in PET. <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>Assembled with a M5x10 socket head screw and a M5 locknut.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p>I used Onshape to model it. Added a wavy spring to give a little give and added inner spikes to hold the post strap in place.</p> <p>If you want to dig through my Onshape file, you can check it out here: <a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6b054dccb636c22229eda696/w/5b0a7acebc694616646d3f78/e/fa9617e5cc26ec3752e2ab7c">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6b054dccb636c22229eda696/w/5b0a7acebc694616646d3f78/e/fa9617e5cc26ec3752e2ab7c</a></p> </div></p></p> Category: Outdoor & Garden
