Description

All plastic, all printable padlock. To lock things, you know? Comes with key! Download the PadLock STL.zip, and extract to use the files.

Print & Enjoy!

Instructions

Just print out, and put together according to the Assembly.STL file. the pin holes are 1/8", so if you don't want to get the appropriate dowel, you could be tricky with the sandpaper and make your 3mm plastic filament work in its place.


**NOTE** I have only included the .STL files in the .ZIP, but if you would like me to upload a specific filetype, don't hesitate to ask!

Like it.

Love it.

I made a minor modification to the internal workings.
Now that it's done I wish I'd made it so the lock 'pops' open when unlocked.
Oh well, other projects for the moment, but it's possible, but unlikely I'll get to that modification.

I just shorted the 'spri
ng' with a side cutter.
I also heated and bent the spring a bit to make it more aggressive.

Works pretty darn good.

This looks like the perfect thing for a child's toybox :)

Very nifty.

what is the diameter of the shackle?

jeffkohrman on October 28, 2010 said:

The shackle measurements are:

inside diameter - 1 23/32"
outside diameter - 2 11/32"

It also has an approximate useable area of 1 13/32" diameter. Hope this helps!

Awesome, does the locking mechanism actually work?

jeffkohrman on October 28, 2010 said:

The locking mechanism seems to work great in the full sized print, the mini however, takes some heavy sanding and alot of fiddling with skeinforge..

My design should work in plastic (as well as wood), the only concern I have is the flexibility of the spring pin. I will post my results once I'm finished printing the parts.

Very useful! Now I finally have something less expensive -- and lightweight! -- to lock my bike when on a tour.

you're kidding right? using a plastic lock to lock your bike?
