Designed and printed a ‘Hatch Clamp’ for the Kayak. It’s based off of Cam latches designed for boats. The idea is that there will be one of these mechanisms on each side of the hatch. Turning the latch will clamp to the thick closed-cell foam that I’m using for the bulkhead on the kayak.
I may have some tuning to do once the final hatch/bulkhead is installed. I’ll print the final parts out of the same purple ASA that the rest of the stuff on the kayak are printed out of.
I wanted the knob big enough to easily turn if I have gloves on. The problem with most cam latches is trying to get your fingers in there to open them.
