Description

Stop fumbling with messy closets and garage clutter. The GravityLock is a high-performance mechanical tool holder that uses a compliant hinge system to secure your tools using only their own weight. As you drop a broom, shovel, or rake into the jaws, the weighted wings swing inward, creating a firm, non-slip grip.

Key Features:

Print-in-Place: No assembly, no screws, and no extra parts required. The hinges are printed fully assembled.

Zero-Support Design: Engineered with 45-degree angles to ensure a clean print on any machine without the need for messy support structures.

Heavy Duty: Designed for tool handles ranging from 18mm to 32mm in diameter.

Quick Release: Just lift the tool, and the GravityLock wings automatically reset to the open position.

Printing Instructions:

Material: PETG or ASA recommended for mechanical strength and flexibility.

Walls: 3-4 perimeters (walls) for maximum hinge durability.

Infill: 20% Gyroid or Grid.

Post-Print: Once off the bed, give the wings a gentle snap to break the internal 0.25mm clearance bond—they will then swing freely.
