Description
This is a latch for a carboard box. Works great for Amazon boxes and the like. To install the latch follow these steps:
- Place hook so it lies across where the box opens
- Stab the lid with a ball point pen where the fastener should go through the box
- Push the screw through the hole on the top of the box lid then screw the cap on from the underside of the box lid
- Close the box so the hook lays where it's going to be closed
- Stab the box with a ball point pen right in the middle of the hook loop
- Push the latch button screw through the new hole on the top and the screw the cap on from the underside of the box lid
These lie relatively flat, so boxes with these latches on can be reasonably well stacked on top of one another.

Why didn't you combine the latch button and the hook?? How am I supposed to push the latch button through the hook's eyehole? Was I supposed to have arranged this on the build plate like a do-it-yourself print-in-place part??

The latch button is a separate piece to the hook and are printed as individual components. The hook does have a hinge part within it so that needs to be moved around on the bed in the slicer together but they are already arranged in the Bambu project file. It wouldn't work if you printed the button in the hooks eyehole as the button is taller than the hook and they both print with the top face on the bed. Read the install instructions in the description of the model though to help you out.

Know what? My mistake entirely. They didn't load/move together in Cura, I was using the term "latch button" incorrectly here (the hook file has two parts to it), and I hit "arrange all parts" to print nicely and they all lined up in the wrong configuration. I did not expect the .3mf file to have two separate pieces in it. Thanks for the clarification, and I apologize for trying to take you to task for something you'd done correctly. Also, it still works fine, even though I melted/hammered it in.

It isn't, however, clear in the instructions that the hook file contains two parts that need to be arranged thusly.

Works great and prints nicely. I was just contemplating such a thing the other day. Great model, and a great job implementing it. Well done. I just started another print job for four more.

Prints and works well but the hole required in the cardboard is bigger than any pen or pencil that I own so it needed reamed out with a knife blade.

latch works good. but had trouble with multiple prints - the slicer moved the inner ?screw from the latch outside. taught me to be careful and check the plate before printing.
