About this model

Custom fidlock type mechanism for only allowing parts to slide in and out one way. Files included are: 3 versions of the sliding part, one with a small base, one with a larger base, and one with a sewable base. There are also 4 versions of the holding mechanism, a basic version, larger edge version for welding, a sewable version for fabrics, and a clamping version if you can't sew into fabrics. The recommendations below are what I used to get the maximum strength out of these parts. SLICER RECCOMENDATIONS: 5-6 walls 50-100% infill Print Orientation: VERTICAL (Allows for no supports to be placed inside the pieces, keeping it clear of extra materials)
