{"product_id":"mailbox-handle-latch-hook","title":"Mailbox Handle \/ Latch \/ Hook","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere not much to explain. This is a replacement handle for a mailbox. These seem to be standard and should work for most other mailboxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle on my mailbox broke at about the time I got my first roll of PETG so I figured it would be a good first project to try a new material. I downloaded a model someone else created. It fit the door, but was a little too small to catch on the top latch. I've been learning Fusion 360 and thought this would be an easy thing to try modeling myself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI printed this in black PETG with no post-finishing. It fits the holes on the mailbox door well. I was able to reuse the clip on the inside to secure the latch. If someone needs the clip let me know and I'll give that a shot as well. There are other models for that on here, though.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePrint Settings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter Brand: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter: \u003c\/strong\u003e                     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnder 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRafts: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupports: \u003c\/strong\u003e                     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResolution: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e0.2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfill: \u003c\/strong\u003e                     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e75%\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunlu PETG\u003cbr\u003eBlack\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow I Designed This\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've been learning Fusion 360 and thought this would be a great first model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI imported an image of the broken latch with a ruler beside it. I used the ruler and the calibrate function to ensure the image was the correct size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI used the image to create sketches of the different parts. Hook itself was extruded to 1\" wide. I then created an offset plane at 0.5\" to sketch the nubs that go through the mailbox door. I sketched 1\/2 of the nub and used the rotate extrusion tool around the center axis to make the nubs. I used the same offset plane for the bump on top of the hook, but extruded it in 2 directions from the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the extrusions where done I added some filets to some of the edges to make it look nicer. Then I combined all of the bodies and exported as an .stl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI did have to go back in and adjust the spacing of the nubs once.
