BeanVac Replacement Latch

prusaprinters

<p>My old BeanVac (<a href="http://beanvac.com.au/product/bean-vac/">http://beanvac.com.au/product/bean-vac/</a>) was not working properly (no vacuum seal) and I noticed that the release was not pulled down completely.</p> <p>Then the latch mechanism broke. Looks like there was a lot of stress for the type of soft plastic used in the original.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3 Pro</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>100%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Comgrow PLA White</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Used 100% infill since this is a part under stress but you can probably get away with less. Print it on its side.</p></div> Post-Printing ============= <p>I had to drill out the hole slightly but there's more then enough material to make up for that. This is a tighter fit but seems to work well.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p>Originally designed in Solidworks.
