This is a fun project.
Here's the youtube link to see it live: https://youtu.be/UpcQWu-Bjsw
A modern 3d-printed version of an old Viking padlock and key.
These locks were in use from 11th - 17th century using ward springs and key.
You could print with metal look-alike PLA and have a very rustic version.
I used bright colours both for the fun of it and to make it easier to see the components and elements of them.
Hope you have fun making this.
I haven't tested the holding strength of it, but it fits/works on my locker!
Remember, It is a replica, so don't use it to lock up your family jewels [lol].
