Replacement Rung Lock for TecTake Telescope Ladder and identical Products

thingiverse

The original ratcheting mechanism of the ladder has a structural flaw causing a predetermined failure point at the beginning of the lock tongues. As a result, many of these locks break over time and cannot be purchased separately. The newly designed part does not have this issue and can be used in place of buying a complete new ladder. Print Settings Printer: FlashForge Dreamer Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.15mm Infill: 75% Notes: Use 4 bottom layers, 6 top layers, and 3 perimeter shells. On FDM-printers it is highly recommended to print the lock in the attached two parts and in the given orientation. If the part is printed with the tongues facing up, the connection of the tongues only depends on the adhesion of the separate layers causing a crack with minimal force. If printed in the given orientation, the tongues are much stronger and will not crack easily (see attached screenshot of the slicer's result). Connect the part of the handle to the main part with some drops of super glue. How I Designed This Designed with FreeCAD Custom Section Sorry guys, In the same manner as loubie (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1350837), I discovered that hundreds of models from thingiverse are sold on ebay without respecting the CC license they were shared under here. https://www.ebay.com/str/3D-Pyro-Prints The Vero-Team from ebay does not accept thingiverse or makerbot as a legitimate corporation nor the CC-license as a valid license. Thingiverse itself declines to provide support for members to enforce the rules of the CC and recommends only continuing the ridiculous and useless dialogue with the vero-team and parasitic sellers, or contracting a lawyer to stop these sellers. In fact, the CC is not worth selecting the right type for shared models. So I'm forced to remove all my models here. I'm not willing to waste my spare time for the profit of these antisocial parasites. If you are interested in getting the model files, please contact me. If you are an active member here and have shared your own models here, I would be very glad to send you the files. Regards SnowHead
