Replacement Shutter Pin (Spring-loaded)

thingiverse

This is a replacement spring-loaded pin to be used in replacing a shutter in "plantation-style" shutters. The assembly consists of two 3D-printed parts and requires two other non-printed parts: - 1x paper clip - 1x mechanical pencil / pen spring A ~5mm straight piece was cut off a small paper clip to be used as a retainer for the pin. I'm not exactly sure what pen/pencil the spring is from, but the one I used is ~3.8mm in diameter and 17mm in length. Assembly is straightforward; put the spring in the body followed by the pin, and stick the retainer in the pin to keep it in place. Voila! You've saved yourself a trip to the hardware store.
