Strong Compression Door Latch

thingiverse

I designed a catch/latch to secure a door on my filament dry-shelf, and I'm sharing it here in case someone else needs it. The door was sealed tightly, requiring noticeable pressure to keep the seal intact, so I aimed for a design that wouldn't compromise the layer adhesion. After searching for an existing solution, I couldn't find one that fit my needs, so I created this custom catch/latch. If you're in a similar situation, feel free to use it. To print, follow the orientations provided in the STL files. This design requires: * 1x25mm M3 cap head hex socket bolt * 1x12mm M3 cap head hex socket bolt * 2xM3 nuts * Depending on the wood thickness, you'll need 2 short woodscrews and one longer screw A .360 file is included for those who want to adjust the sizes.
