Description

I really like IKEA-style cam locks. They’re much easier for connecting two parts (with some limitations), and they also hide the screws nicely.
I tried a few models from the platform, but most of them are modeled after the real IKEA ones, which are designed for injection molding rather than 3D printing. As a result, they often require supports.
I wanted an IKEA-style cam lock that’s actually printable, so I designed one myself, mostly following the original IKEA specs, with a few adjustments here and there. It works great for connecting my 3D-printed parts!
I’ve never tried it in actual IKEA furniture, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Feel free to leave a comment and let us know if it works for you!

Updated:
The Build123d source code for generating the cam lock is now available at: https://makerrepo.com/r/fangpenlin/open-models/blob/master/open_models/cam_lock.py, it's open-sourced under MIT license. Feel free to clone / fork it and modify it as you like
