New closure with click/clack feature, more secure.

A handy little carabiner (only 5g) with a twist of style!

Perfect as a keychain gadget, it lets you easily clip on your keys using the lower slot, while the built-in lever snaps back with a satisfying clack.

The textured grips give it a cool look and make it pleasant to handle. There’s even a bottle-opener-shaped cutout — though let’s be honest, in plastic it’s more about looks than heavy duty.

Practical, lightweight, and ready to tag along on every adventure.

I was pretty impressed, printed in PLA, it didn't take many open/close cycles before the gate stopped rebounding all the way, but I opened/closed 1000 times without it deforming enough for there to be an opening or breaking, really didn't expect that from PLA! Not very scientific, but I then gently lifted a 20lb weight with it, that definitely deformed it, but it still didn't break until I bounced the weight around a bit. Obviously it isn't intended for anything heavy, but that makes me think it would be strong enough to hold up to a water bottle for a decent amount of time or use with a key ring or other light duty for a long time. I'm going to print a few in PETG or ABS to have around, I think I'd trust them just as much as the keychain caribiners you might see in a checkout line or as a promo giveaway (trust the gate more but overall strength without regular inspection less).

Hello, did you end up printing these with different material? Interested if your further testing produced different results

@Nperry

Replying to @user_41373978 :

I still haven’t gotten around to it, too many things to print!

Printed with my own settings with Flashforge ASA burned titanium. Scaled up 150%, 4 wall, bottom and top perimeters, 25% gyroid infill, top surface ironing for fun. Came out really nice and can lift pretty heavy stuff. Only a little concern: The latch is hard/tricky to open.

That’s great thank you for feedback! Problem with latch i think it’s due to the scaling.

Use a clean plate that's your printer fault not model

(Edited)

@Dsterling

I laughed at this...... and then the same thing happened to mine lol. I have a clean plate so I know it isn't the plate. I am printing with PETG so there is probably some settings I need to adjust.

@michelem

Thanks for feedback. Sorry is not strong enough for what? This is basically a keychain you shouldn't use it for heavy duty

Great model! I printed it in PLA, but it's a bit too soft.
