Description

I created this, the "ADB" or "Alex Drawer Blocker" with the intention of locking my kitten out of my drawer that has all of his treats and extra toys. He has been constantly attempting to get into the drawer and has recently figured out how to put his paw in the hole and get it open. I have tried putting up tape to block it but he is persistent and has chewed threw the tape multiple times. I created this to lock him out. The print slips over the hole and will make it very difficult to open without a key, unless you put your fingers on the bottom of the drawer underneath to open it. There are 2 keys that come with it, the Key for ADB V2 and Key for ADB V2.1. The V2 key is slightly shorter and will be an exact fit. The V2.1 is a slightly longer key that allows for some play. It is personal preference which one you use. Alternatively a handcuff key will also work. PRINTING For the keys I recommend flat with supports under the actual key latch portion. This will make the best print. For the assembly, I printed upside down, with the top on the hot plate. The infill was 10%. No supports.
