baby gate latch

I required a specific item and, as often happens, I created it myself. Assembly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plp8EKUB8v0 The design is optimized for printing, with the layer strength positioned in the most beneficial direction for the component. It was printed with 100% infill on the back plates, and 50% infill on the main body and latch. This high level of infill provides added strength, as this item will likely be subjected to frequent impacts. The printer settings included four walls in each direction. Edit: An optional backplate/spacer was added to cover existing screw holes. The design allows for easy attachment of an M3 screw to the spacer plate. This feature is simple enough to replicate according to individual needs, but it's also available as a standalone option.
