The fully parametric version lets you adjust every dimension to fit your letterbox exactly.

If your letterbox flap is floppy or has fallen off, this is almost certainly the part you need. The original plastic pin snaps easily, usually after a heavy-handed postman forces an oversized parcel through. Replacing it takes minutes and saves you buying a new letterbox.

The only other 3D printable letterbox pin available uses a square end. This one uses the correct hexagonal end, matching the factory original.

Dimensions:

  • Total length: 86mm

  • Hex head: 4mm diameter, 3mm long

  • Shaft: 83mm (including tab feature)

  • Tab: 7mm long, beginning 74mm from hex end


Note: Letterbox pin sizes vary across manufacturers. Measure your broken pin before printing.
