Dyson V10 / V11 cross-bolt trigger lock

I - like many people - was annoyed by the lack of a trigger lock on the V11 series. I tried many solutions to this; some community and others commercial but all of them came up short. They either were a piece that I would lose, or they restricted the operation of the trigger when attached. There had to be a better way…..

So, sat on my sofa one evening I was thinking about the V11 (as you do) and triggers when a thought entered my head: “What else has a trigger? Firearms have triggers. Some firearms have cross-bolt safeties or cross-trigger safeties that lock the trigger out. What if a cross-trigger safety could work in reverse?”

So, I took a scan of the V11 and got CAD'ing. This was the result: A cross-trigger safety that doesn't restrict the operation of the trigger.

To complete you will need:

• 2 x M3x10mm Allen head bolt
• 1 x M2x40mm Allen head bolt
• 1 x M2 nut

Tolerances should be OK as is. I printed the parts in PLA on a Bambu X1C but any accurate printer (Prusa etc.) will be fine.
