The cam-latch closure on my original rugged box is still the toughest 3D printed box closure of all, but I know snap closures are convenient too. I made this extra tough snap closure, which will not break because it doesn't rely on layer adhesion. Even if you do somehow manage to break it, the catch can be replaced with a single screw.

Features:

  • Snap Closure
  • easy 2-finger opening
  • Extra tough & replaceable catch
  • 8 sizes
  • Parametric Fusion 360 archive
  • STEP file
  • Optional lanyard loop
  • Optional filled body stl - generate your own internal cut-out in Meshmixer
