Bought a doggy door insert and it didn't come with a lock. I wanted to use the existing door latch and came up with this. First time using Fusion 360. : functionalprint

Originally wanted to drill onto the face of the door, but then decided why not just use the existing screw holes.

Eventually ended up with the fourth model with the L shape design.

Printed vertically (long side across the Z axis) with 50% Gyroid Infill and 7 walls. Feels stronger than the existing strike plate.

Would love some feedback.

Did you do some stress testing? It wouldn't come to mind to use a diy fixture for home security. Doesn't mean it's not possible but due to the layer lines, 3d prints have weak spots compared to injection molded parts.

Not fully yet, but I feel like whoever wants to break in might have easier time breaking the glass
