A simple carabiner using a compliant spring mechanism to secure the latch. Good for keychains and backpack baubles. I'll probably make a bunch of different variations on this theme this year as I play with compliant mechanisms in Shapr.
I recommend printing in PETG or something with a little bit of natural give to allow for the thing to flex without deforming under repeated use. The blue one shown was printed in Teal Kinluot PETG.
I also added a version with the clasp positioned out so that when in proper alignment there is quite a bit more tension on the spring, keeping the clip from opening up accidentally.
I included the Shapr3D file in case anyone wants to do any modifications to it.
Enjoy!
