3D printer Door LOCK

This is useful for safety (e.g., around kids or pets), temperature stability (for ABS/ASA printing), or noise control. Here are some good options:

1. Magnetic Lock

Simple to install and use.

No moving parts—just magnets embedded in the door and frame.

Some designs include 3D-printed brackets and neodymium magnets.

2. Mechanical Latch / Sliding Bolt

Fully 3D printable.

Acts like a bolt or latch you slide into place.

Look on sites like Printables
or Thingiverse
using keywords like:

“3D printer enclosure door lock”

“latch for printer door”

3. Cam Lock (Hardware)

Buy a cam lock from a hardware store or Amazon.

Mount it to a printed door.

Great for IKEA Lack enclosures or acrylic boxes.

4. Keyed or Combination Lock

Mostly hardware-based, but you can print an enclosure or bracket for them.

Suitable if you want real security.

5. Child Safety Lock

Some printable models mimic fridge locks or cabinet child locks.

Good balance between security and ease of use
