This is a lock designed link your device to a fixed point (A lock).

I have made some changes for CNC frendly fabrication, so it took a while uploading.

I also changed the name to E-Lock, since Kensington will start sideeyeing me.

(Yes, I know what I said. I’ll take this down if nobody wants to see it…)

Enjoy!

    The entire device should be 3d metal printed.

    If you want a lighter device. Plastic works on:

    • Body.
    • Pin.

    Metal is needed on:

    • Front/Back guard.
    • Shackle.

      Oh, wow. I’m obviously new to 3D printing, but you can basically replace a forged piece of steel/brass!? If so, that’s awesome!

        Yes.

        With PLA, you can submerge your part with sand and use molten metal. (PLA Casting)

        3D printer can also print metals. You just need a special nozzle and metal fillament.
