Latch+Hinge Blocks: add to any CAD model

prusaprinters

<p>Parts required to use: 1 m3x12mm screw, 2 3/32" roll pins.</p><p>I've wanted a reliable latch model for a long time that I can reuse in multiple designs. So this week I finally did it and will share it so others can easily give their boxes latches.</p><p>The models contained here can be inserted into any model using step files. There are 4 components to be joined to your existing model (latch-hinge, latch-hook, inner-hinge, and outer-hinge). Each pair has a footprint of 13x30mm split in half so each individual component is 13x15mm and there is a 1mm back plate meant to be merged with the existing model.</p><p>To use cut a rectangle of 13x30mm 1mm deep for the latch and for the hinge and use these slots to insert the components after importing the step files.</p><p>Original fusion 360 file included for modification if needed. Also included the model for the small orange box in the picture “latch-insert-test”.</p>
