Let me know if you want me to add any more tongue styles so that you can rep your ride! There are now over 30 tongue designs available thanks to your suggestions.
This is ABSOLUTELY amazing! One of the most clever designs I've seen... especially the way you don't use ANY hardware at all to create such awesome functionality. PLEASE keep up the good work and make more of these videos!!!
A few suggested this idea on Reddit, so I already altered the design slightly and made it. Here's a link: thangs.com/designer/electrosync/3d-model/Wall%20Mount%20Key%20Hanger-35523?manualModelView=true
Excellent straightforward no-bs walkthrough! I feel like this would be a great mechanism for diy bag clamps and such ("Dollar-Tree" Chrome Industries) Thank you for sharing!
My daughter loves to play "airplane" and use hot wheels tracks for seatbelts. I'd love a version of this where it could loop a ribbon from side to side so she could buckle around a chair.
Love this, just printed one and works great, thank you!! The top doesn't snap fit but a little dab of glue should solve that. I would love a Lamborghini emblem tongue to print for my little car lover nephew if you can.
These things are addictive to play with! My print profile is pretty standard. I did use a glass build plate for these though to give a nice shine to some of the parts.
The little piece of filament is a makeshift spring to 'pop' the tongue out when you push the button. The arraignment is important to get it to work. I designed it this way, as it was simple and hardware-free.
I printed out everything straight after I downloaded the files and I was so excited but then I put it all together and it didn’t move freely like it should so idk if I did anything wrong or if I need to change anything or what. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!!
I see that you very very briefly mention that you can change the color on the tongue but you don't say how or at what height. Is this something that should be obvious to those who have done it before?
Good question. I didn't provide details as it varies with slicing software and printer firmware. Using Cura I used pause at height scripts (M0 command for my firmware) at layers 10 and 15 to change the filament colour (you can see a screenshot of the script settings at 2:39 It's not too difficult to find where to change by previewing it in your slicer software and noting the layer numbers.
For the layer heights, the printer at my college will only allow me to do 0.25mm and 0.18mm. Would I be able to print the parts with this setting or will it not work since the parts show 0.20mm and 0.12mm for the latch?
Hmm. I’d go with 0.18 for all the parts. You may need to do some sanding on the ramp part of the latch to make sure that it’s smooth. It should work though. Good luck!
Part of me wants to believe in humanity and wants to believe that people won't actually put these in their actual cars as functional seat belt buckles but another part of me knows that there are people that would actually do this. Soo yeah, don't put them in your cars, it's a fidget toy not a seat belt buckle replacement.

hyundai
@@2bagsOfChips2k2 Good one! I've just added it.
@@electrosync I suppos while you are at it KIA (old or new logo would be good too)
@@2bagsOfChips2k2 I've added the new style Kia logo also.
can you pleas add nissan?

Thanks! I'm working on some bigger projects right now, but I've got some ideas on the list for more of these smaller 3D printing projects.
Collab' idea: get CNC Kitchen to do a strength test using an actual car crash.
Now that sounds like a tough challenge for Stefan!
Absolutely incredible design. Just downloaded it, will start printing right away :)))))
This could easily be a keychain!!! The tong goes with the keys and the other one you atach to your wall at home!!! Very nice!!!

The filament tongue spring permanently deforms my filament 😄
Hmmm. Try some different materials and even colours and see if you get an improvement. The 20 mm length is also important to stop it ‘bending’.
Mine for some reason slips around the bottom of the tongue and doesn’t spring at all
"when lambo?" is my favorite lmao
Soon! Still hodling my $SQUID
Sweet! 😂 i love this and am going to print a few to put up at work for the community trucks
Excellent straightforward no-bs walkthrough! I feel like this would be a great mechanism for diy bag clamps and such ("Dollar-Tree" Chrome Industries) Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I’ve got a couple of practical applications using the same mechanism in the pipeline.
One word, fan-tas-tic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Works like a charm
My daughter loves to play "airplane" and use hot wheels tracks for seatbelts. I'd love a version of this where it could loop a ribbon from side to side so she could buckle around a chair.
It’s in the pipeline…
I love this!! I put it on my wall
What an amazing creative person you are 😍 keep it up
Thanks for watching!
Simply brilliant
This seems really helpful.
Very clever design!!
Thanks!

Great! I’ve just added a Lambo tongue to the model.
@@electrosync thank you very much!
I need to print this! Great project! Though, you forgot the McLaren logo, honest mistake... Just kidding :)
How could I forget my daily drive?! Ha ha! Thanks for the suggestion, I just added it.
@@electrosync Thank you!
Cool
Wow, this satisfying. How do you get your prints to look so cleeeeean?
These things are addictive to play with! My print profile is pretty standard. I did use a glass build plate for these though to give a nice shine to some of the parts.
@@electrosync do you use a direct drive extruder?
Yes. I use direct drive with the stock hotend on my Ender 3 pro. This is my go to printer for small parts.
i love it
I just built this, but I'm curious, What's the purpose of the 20mm of filament in the bottom?
The little piece of filament is a makeshift spring to 'pop' the tongue out when you push the button. The arraignment is important to get it to work. I designed it this way, as it was simple and hardware-free.
idk how to use scad but ive made a basic fusion 360 file so you can easily add text and emojis to the tongue. :D
When you say “perpendicular“, do you mean parallel?
You know what I mean!
@@electrosync What is the point in the extra filament being slotted in like that?
@@LandonCall it provides tension on the tongue to eject it as well as a nice ‘feel’ when you insert the tongue.
Hi great little print. I see you print on glass and get a nice shiny finish. What do you use to get the print to stick on glass?
Great video 👍🏻😁
I printed out everything straight after I downloaded the files and I was so excited but then I put it all together and it didn’t move freely like it should so idk if I did anything wrong or if I need to change anything or what. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!!

@@electrosync Oh awesome, that mostly makes sense. I have never done it before but I think I understand from your comment. Thanks for the reply!
what infill
Can you add a tesla tounge?
How about a Jaguar tongue?
I’ve just added it.

I’d actually be quite impressed!
What Scale?
could you and land rover please and thank you.
Great suggestion! I've just added it.
