Description

This OpenSCAD script generates customizable locking mechanisms for pipes and tubes of various sizes. It includes three main components:

  • Fixed base lock
  • Threaded collar
  • Threaded lid

These parts are designed to seal tubular structures, making them ideal for creating recipients or containers.

OpenSCAD Customizer

  • The Part selector menu let you render either the fixed base lock, the threaded collar or the locking lid.
  • The main dimensions menu permits to edit the outer diameter, the thickness, the wished clereance and thread heigth.
  • The curled pattern options let you modify the depth of the engraved curled pattern. You can also choose to not have any pattern at all.
  • The printer settings option lets you select the width of your printer nozzle (default: 0.4). Most importantly, you can define your printer tolerance (default: 0.2).
