    Firstly, these are open-source for community improvement.

    bending/tampering resistance by the use of guards.

    Front guard disallows the shackle from being bent. Image

    The Back guard protects the back shackle from bending. Image

    The ring guard protects tampering of the guards. Image

    (This info below may be inaccurate since I changed partial lock design. FEM testing wasn’t used right now.)

    The shackle is designed to withstand 2-7k netwons. (2k when aluminum is used, 7k if steel is used.)
    

    (This was found on the web. This may be mild/severly innacurate. Take this with a grain of salt.)

    These forces (2k) are similar to require a car to move.

      And this is… plastic instead of metal? Or am I misunderstanding things?

        The entire device should be 3d metal printed.

        If you want a lighter device. Plastic works on:

        • Body.
        • Pin.

        Metal is needed on:

        • Front/Back guard.
        • Shackle.
