techboy Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Well I'm a little embarrassed to say it's taken me about a year of working here and there as I've had time and about 8 prototypes to FINALLY come up with a repo console latch that works properly. I've been super close for a few months now, was just a matter of adjusting a few things literally by 32nds. I need to print a final black one at work on Monday and test again, but if it fits I should be able to run a batch of them later in the week if anyone is interested. I'm not sure what to charge for these, but I'll come up with something. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Looks good! I have a couple of these in a bag that someone else 3D printed a couple years back. Time to pull them out and compare 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to pull them out and compare 😄 I actually had in mind years ago to work on developing these when that guy came along. I didn't want to steal his thunder, so I backed off. But, since the board reboot I haven't seen him nor do I remember who it was - so I started working on them again. 1 hour ago, tux said: Printed in petg? These prototypes are just PLA. I have PETG, but I found a spool of black of ABS at work on Friday, so I was planning on giving that a shot. Plus a higher quality, these are printed at a medium right now. I think the final will look a lot nicer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Can't forget about the high heat in summer time I think petg might fare the best the guy that made them before did pretty ok job. I ended up drilling mine out and using a small thin piece of metal because the retention tabs broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, it looks like ABS is good up to about 17O degrees, which should be good for an interior I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Oh that is probably fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted February 24 Author Report Share Posted February 24 Finally got a batch of these printed up this week: The glossier 6 on the left are PETG. The more flat black 2 on the right are ABS. I was having some distortion issues with the ABS and had to throw a bunch of them out b/c I wasn't happy with the quality. I have another batch of 6 going in PETG as we speak. If anyone wants one, 15 shipped should do it (10+5 shipping). Shoot me a PM and I'll get one out to you. Things are kinda dead around here these days unfortunately, but if there's enough continual interest I'll put a formal F/S thread in the Bazaar and I can print them as needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
