I designed this Gate Latch for strength and to be easily to printable, to be used for large and/or heavy gates with a D or Latch locking system.
Gate Hook:
I printed the hook with 5 perimeters with a 0.4mm nozzle to make the walls 2mm, and with 4 top and bottom layers at 0.22mm to make the top and bottom 1mm thick, with 15% infill.
Gate Bracket:
I printed the hook with 7 perimeters with a 0.4mm nozzle to make the walls 2.8mm, and with 6 top and bottom layers at 0.22mm to make the top and bottom 1.44mm thick, with an infill of 20 - This was to give the bracket strength to take the impacts of the gate being closes onto the bracket.
Gate Pin:
I printed the gate pin with the maximum number of wall making it solid, instead of doing a 100% infill, I heard it makes it stronger.
All parts were printed with a high temperature to increase layer adhesion.
Assembling:
The best way to assemble it is by assembling it on a flat surface and putting the head of the pin (large end) on
