Hinged Handcuffs | Realistic

## Printable Hinged Handcuffs --- These are a clone of the S&W hinged handcuffs from a tracing of a picture online. I was inspired by the many handcuff designs on thingiverse, especially this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2487050 ## Warning --- If you print these with a high infill, they are really freaking strong. **Don't put them on alone**, the hinge is very restrictive and depending on the key hole direction, you might have trouble getting out. They're almost not a toy.. _ ask me how I know... _ ## Features --- - Double lock - Printed spring - Guide groove and boss on the shackle that will keep the shackle from flexing when locked or double locked, giving it really good strength. - Skin-contact edges are filleted for your comfort - Bodies and hinge are printed in a single piece without any supports. - There is a small barrier on the bottom body as well as the top cover to make picking more tricky for the lucky wearer. - The short version of the key is too short for the wearer to use. The long version of the key is usable only if the keyholes are facing down. ## Printing tips --- - Part quantities are listed in the file names. ** Note that the shackles and covers have left and right hand versions. ** - I printed the locking bar out of PETG as PETG seemed to last longer before the springiness was gone. PLA seems to work but eventually creeps. - Make sure to print the dowel pin on its side. Printing it vertically will not work very well. - Print the key separately, on its side, using support pattern lines with .5 line spacing with a .1 layer height. - The key should be printed at 100% infill and a warm temperature to ensure good layer adhesion. **Don't print the key vertically**, it will not be strong and will break off in the lock. _ ask me how i know.. _ - At 15% and 4 perimeters, 4 tops and bottoms layers, these are really strong. If you want extra strength of course 100% is an option :) ## Finis
