Lockpick demonstration tool/gun 2.0

thingiverse

If you want to see what else I'm making, follow my Instagram! @wiseprints206. 12.21.19: I made the handle smaller so it can be used with smaller hands. It's now easier for many people to use this device. This is probably the last update this design will get before I create a totally new one in the future. The files for the smaller handle have 2.1 at the end of their name, making them easy to identify. 3.6.19: This design is primarily a proof of concept rather than a finished product. At some point, I'll upload a 2.0 version that's much more comfortable and easier to use. I realize you need large hands to operate this device, but it can be easily improved. Right now, I'm working on three bigger projects, so this will have to wait until I have some free time. However, I did edit the trigger a bit, and here's an improved version that's included. Unfortunately, I haven't tested the new version, so you'll need to try it out! PREFACE: PLEASE DON'T BE STUPID WITH THIS! This is for personal locks and usage only. Don't use this on other people's things. UPDATE: I printed this, and it works! However, the trigger needed modification, so I did that and will print soon. I added the updated trigger file for everyone, happy printing! This is my design of a lockpick gun. Essentially, I locked myself out of one of my chests that I store things in, and I wanted a way to open it, so I designed this to do the trick. I'm not certain if it works yet, but I'll know soon enough! I just designed this, so I haven't printed it yet. After printing this, you will need a few extra parts and pieces: - 4 x 20x10x2mm rare earth magnets https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CP4LBSY?ie=UTF8&tag=wiseprints206-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B07CP4LBSY - 2 x 8mm diameter metal rods (you can make do with one) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CLGRDQF?ie=UTF8&tag=wiseprints206-20&camp=1789&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B07CLGRDQF - A hacksaw or something similar to cut the rods to size (local hardware stores have these) - 1 x piece of metal to insert into the tip of the gun. A sturdy piece of metal that's around 1x3x30mm should do the trick. If you don't have something laying around, you can order a standard pickset from Amazon and break off one of the tips to insert into the end of the device. Alternatively, you can make a hose clamp work: https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Lock-Picks/ Assembly is very straightforward. The pieces are obvious where they go. The magnets are put in stacks of 2 and glued into the top of the case and the arm, so they oppose each other and function as a spring. When you obtain the tip for the gun, it can be electrical taped into the end slot of the arm (once again, I haven't tested this device). To use, you need a lock torque device in conjunction with this tool. A quick YouTube search for "lock pick gun" will show you how it works. You essentially insert the tip of the arm into the top of the lock and pull the trigger. While holding the trigger back, slide the trigger up and towards the front of the gun to "click" the end inside the lock. This should bump the pins to the top of the lock.
