Simple Gate Latch

thingiverse

What's on your mind?\nA small gate latch for our chicken coop is what it is.\nScale up for imprisoning larger animals or general use, you can do that.\nHow well does it work? It works surprisingly well! Closes easily and doesn't open in the opposite direction.\nStrong enough for most purposes, but you might need to consider a few things.\nThe plastic hinge-pin thingo is hard to print at this small scale, so a cable-tie or anything around the right size would be good.\nOther\nI'm looking forward to making some genuinely useful items for 3d printing. I'd love to hear ideas for things that haven't been done already.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter: \n Da Vinci EXYZ\n \n Rafts: \n No rafts at all\n \n Supports: \n No supports needed\n \n Resolution: 0.3 millimeters of precision\n \n Infill: 30% of the material used
