My foldable table always collapsed when I wanted to relocate. Reason was missing stopper / snapper. Thought I need something that holds the "scissor" in operating condition, also during moving the table. Only when storage or folding was required there should be a device that provides me an unlock device for folding the table.

Took rough dimensions, got to TinkerCad and after approx. 3 hours my V0.1 had printed the two parts. Just needed to cut-out the woodstrip for mounting the new snapper. 

First shot, first hit! 

What you need: Dowel pin Ø3x20mm, spring iaw. Ø6.8mm, wire 0.6, total length approx. 20mm, two (Philips-)woodscrews, few feet of filament (I chose PLA).

In the files area you may find a 16mm and a 20mm wide snapping base. I chose the 16mm base, maybe the 20mm is more rigid.
