Ladder Lock / Ladder Buckle

thingiverse

My sister enjoys sewing and often crafts bags. The issue is, even affordable ladder locks with a basic design can cost around 2 Euros, and these expenses quickly add up. So I opened Fusion 360, designed a simple version of it, and printed it in PETG. My sister was thrilled with the design but had concerns about its carrying capacity. I promptly filled a watering can with 10 liters of water, secured a thin rope to both the ladder lock and the watering can, and lifted it without any issues. There was no deformation. Lifting 20 pounds without problems met her requirements; she was satisfied.
