What it does
- Fully printed design lets you build a working lock so you can experience 3D printing magic firsthand
- Comes with all padlock parts needed, so you get a complete puzzle to assemble and display
- Handle the key gently with PLA material so your lock stays fun to use over time
You get to own a real padlock that came straight from a 3D printer. This fully printed design shows what modern making can do, even if security is not the goal.
The padlock comes with all the parts you need. You will assemble a working lock that actually opens and closes with a key. This is the fun part, the bragging part, the cool conversation starter on your desk.
Treat the key gently when you twist it, since PLA plastic is softer than metal. That way your printed lock stays playable and impressive for months to come.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
