I really like the concept, but I greatly prefer just using a piece of filament for the latch bendy element, and the hinge.

- ecjhdnc2025 2y agoI have come to be a big fan of small steel dowel pins, though I do wonder about them ultimately loosening in PLA as a result of (causing) cold flow.

It's not really perfectly straight, so I'm guessing the springiness and bent shape keeps it in place, rather than needing a friction fit. Steel definitely has some advantages though,
