This is a lock designed to be link your device to a fixed point (A lock).
I have made some changes for CNC frendly fabrication, so it took a while uploading.
I also changed the name to E-Lock, since Kensington will start sideeyeing me.
(Yes, I know what I said. I’ll take this down if nobody wants to see it…)
Enjoy!
The issue I see is that you’ll have to prop up most computers to make it stay as they’re usually thinner than your lock.
For the most part, no propping needed since the lock is quite tiny.
I dont get for what this is? To put a padlock on it? For what device?
Thanks for the explanation. So these Kensington locks are super expensive? How does your desgin improve upon it?

Hmm, interesting! I’d be worried that a little rotation will lodge a plastic piece in the Kensington hole. How well does this design hold up to torque?

Unfortunely. I can’t real-world test since I don’t have a printer. But FEM tells me that this device does well aganst torque. (Aluminum)
Pulling for is good too.
Give it a try, Axiochus! ;) A test plate is provided.
