I have a sincere question: are 3D printing materials strong enough to print a useful lock picking set? The pieces need to be extremely thin to fit into an average sized keyhole.
Fortunately you can buy a lock picking set pretty easily and inexpensively. I have a Sparrow lock picking kit, and IIRC it was around $20
- e12e 11y agoI'm just an amateur lock-picker, but AFAIK plastics would be completely unsuitable for use as general lock-picking tools. Maybe for circular/tube-type locks -- but I doubt it. Might be easy to print parts of a tubular lockpick/universial key(ing) tool. For regular lock picks, metal 3d printers might work -- I'm not sure how brittle thin pieces would be. But those things costs a fortune, so I think making by hand would make much more sense.
