Lockpicking practice cylinder

thingiverse

UPDATE: Unfortunately, this project has been put on hold. The parts will still fit together and offer sufficient play to be effective in teaching the art of defeating locks, but I never actually sourced springs for it. Please download and print if you like, keeping in mind that I didn't source the necessary springs. Ever wanted to master the skill of lock picking? Print this practice lock with accompanying tools to learn the theory behind lock vulnerabilities and how to overcome them. Start by practicing on one pin and work your way up to five - before long, you'll be a pro. Stay tuned for the final update and follow for weekly designs. I've noticed that people are incorporating this project into their board game collections, which is a fantastic idea in my opinion. I may revisit this project in the future and improve it specifically for board games. If anyone has suggestions, please leave a comment with your ideas. https://youtu.be/QiYIYXEX9Ko - This video features an excellent animation of a lock's internal mechanics. Print Settings: Printer: Dildahmetron Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: Varies Notes: Use 5% infill for all parts, including the pins, cylinder, and lock body. The pin holes in the cylinder should be filed if there's any droopage. Springs approximately 1 3/4" long, with a soft feeling, will be needed. To print, place the lock body square side down, the cylinder with the logo facing up, and the pins in groups. No support is required for any part. Post-Printing: File the pin holes in the cylinder if there was droopage during printing. You'll need springs approximately 1 3/4" long, with a soft feeling, to complete the project.
