Magnetic Latch – 3D Printed Latch with Automatic Function
Description
This latch consists of three 3D printed parts:
- Latch bolt (movable sliding element)
- Latch holder (guides the bolt)
- Latch receiver (counterpart into which the bolt engages)
Recesses for magnets (5 × 5 mm) are integrated into the parts. This allows the latch bolt to automatically engage left or right and stay securely in position.
Ideal for doors, flaps, boxes, or cabinets where a simple yet reliable latch is needed.
