I developed this draw latch, aka toggle latch and over-center latch, as a part of a larger project and decided to share it as an independent piece. There are plenty of good design to be found, but I wanted to explore hook over pivots with interior screws, and maybe this will be an inspiration for someone to do something incredible.This is not a print-in-place and requires assembly. The exterior dimensions are 26mmW x 60mmL x 15mmH. I have tried to see how much force it can hold, but the heaviest thing I had was a 5 gallon jar, approximately 42 lb, which wasn't enough to break it. See the images. The force was enough to stretch it out of position, but the latch never unlocked.The primary goals were not to use any external hardware like pins or screws as pins, not to use any supports while printing, to have the hooking points as low as possible, and to have as large off-center distance as possible within the low profile for a secure hold.There are four parts: catch plate, base plate,
