  • Unfortunely, I can't real-world test since I don't have a printer. But FEM tells me that this device does well aganst torque (Aluminum). Pulling/Yanking is good too.

    Give it a try, Axiochus! ;) A test plate is provided.

  • Firstly, these are open-source for community improvement.

    bending/tampering resistance by the use of guards.

    Front guard disallows the shackle from being bent.

    The Back guard protects the back shackle from bending.

    The ring guard protects tampering of the guards.

    (This info below may be inaccurate since I changed partial lock design. FEM testing wasn't used right now.)

     
        
    The shackle is designed to withstand 2-7k netwons. (2k when aluminum is used, 7k if steel is used.)
    
      

    (This was found on the web. This may be mild/severly innacurate. Take this with a grain of salt.)

     
        
    ~200 Newtons are  required to move a car.
    
      

    Also the shackle tip is round instead of square. This improves the shackle from V-bending:

    Kensington Shakle tip: ====[]

    My shakle tip: ====D

    (Don't throw out of context... :|)

    And finally, it's cheap and easy to make.

  • This is a lock to anchor your device to something.

    If you have a laptop/desktop. Look to the side and you will see a Rectangle

    This lock uses that hole and this will anchor the device. (Just need a cable.)

    The offical K-Lock used by kensington are these.

    Get it?

  • I'll include the software (FreeCAD 0.20.2) for compatibility.

    Although, my files work fine on 0.21, I'll add that just in case.

    Sorry. What is the diffrence between STEP and STL? I thought STL was preffered.

  • No, I have thought about that. I though patreon was for more "Famous" people that have YT, Twitch, Etc..

    I have some design knowledge from school (Computer Aided Manufactring, Design Princibles, and Robotics) with reading 3D printing practices and limatations. (Fabrication too...). But I'm not a very smart person.

    While I can't test them now, most of my parts were tested under FEM and in the read world (To check accuracy).

    I am considering Printables (It's obvious why) and hopefully I don't end up with just spools.

    Thanks.
