Magnetic Latch / Lock / Handle for Sapphire Pro Enclosure or 5mm Doors by ddemeterco

Last crawled date: 2 years, 10 months ago

Designed this to replace the ugly lock/handle that comes together with the original Sapphire Pro Enclosure. Pretty straight forward replacement, however, hardware is a little bit different than the original one (M3 nuts take from the original package).
If using in another project other than original Sapphire Pro enclosure, take into account that the holes for the lock are 21mm apart from each other.
You'll need:
2x = M4x29mm for the handles if using the self-locking nut
2x = M4 nuts (I've used self-locking ones that are 5mm thick so adjust M4 screw length according to the nut you're using)
4x = M3x15mm
4x = M3 nuts
2x = 8x3mm magnets
PS: ALL screw measurements are taking into account full screw length (including head).
PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS

USE 0.2 LAYER HEIGHT!!

Magnetic_lock_a.stl with the position from the STL and supports from bed only. All other parts doesn't need any supports.
You need to pause print to insert the magnet on magnetic_lock_a.stl.. Using 0.2 layers, that pause is at layer 22. A drop of superglue is advised so the magnet won't be dragged out of the hole when you resume printing.
