Cherokee XJ Center Console Latch (84-96)

thingiverse

This piece is to replace the latch feature in the center console. I had the latch feature broken off when the jeep was first purchased, who knows when it broke the first time. Replacement units are 30-40$ via Ebay for a used one that may last weeks. The first print was made on the side and caused the latch to break by separating layers and was a close to direct replacement from the original components. The second version lengthened the latch, beefed up the latch strength with the fillets and was printed at 15 degree offset to eliminate the layer separation issues. The supports were a nuisance to remove but necessary based on the orientation printed. The original spring and center fixed component will be need to complete the assembly as a direct replacement.
