If you have indoor cats like we do, in the hot weather it can be a bind keeping the windows latched so that they don't escape!! (alternatively, you may want to open the windows a bit, but want to keep the neighbourhood cats/etc out!!)
So I designed this little catch which clips onto the frame of the uPVC windows and the handle is trapped so that it can only open a small amount. This has been sized for a 60mm high uPVC cross-member, but you could scale it to suit. (you can also selectively scale it to make it open further)
This is not a security device, don't leave you home thinking these will deter someone from climbing in, but so far, this has outwitted our cats!!

Notes:
Printed on it's side/edge (as in the initial "Thingiview" view) for max strength in the desired direction.
I used supports everywhere to provide support when printing above the "handle" hole, and I used a raft as there isn't much in contact with the bed.I printed it with 3 shells/walls.
