Filament clip for 3mm filament #3DThursday #3DPrinting

It might not be the most practical lock but its probably the cutest. Shared by RaffoSan on Thingiverse:

after so many boxes and hasps I’ve decided to create my own mini lock.
and after about 10-15 tests i managed to get it also working, to be so small it has a good grip.

the file is optimized for a 0.4 nozzle, so far I had problem printing it with s3d but not with ideamaker, i suggest to look always at the print preview for gaps in the print (anyway few are normal in the inside part)

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
