    Made with FreeCAD. Download the model and customize it to your needs: printables.com/model/1258735-c

  2. This clever compliant mechanism provides two distinct pressure levels. I've used it for decades without realizing how well-designed it is.

    It's the inside of a lens cap for a Sony camera. The first, lighter pressure gives tactile feedback on the right spots to press to unlock the cap, while the stronger second pressure ensures the cap securely locks into the lens ring.
