Disposable Plastic Lock #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Disposable Plastic Lock by ChTuna Thingiverse

More of tamper prevention than actual security. Good idea from ChTuna on Thingiverse:

These are simple one-time use disposable (Tamper) locks. They are designed to show damage if they have been removed.

Version 1 is less visible for tampering as the end is sealed inside.
Version 1 also has a smooth box for a note/ID to ensure the lock has not been replaced.

Version 2 is more “secure” as you can see the tabs through the bottom any tampering will be evident where with version 1 if the tabs are broken and reinserted, they are not visible.

You can also apply a little glue in the slot to ensure a higher level of tamper resistance.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
