Gate Latch - Limiter alternate version

thingiverse

I remixed the limiter (in my limited capacity since I'm no designer and only used 3D Builder to adjust the shape). That being said, If someone is able to remix this or make it much nicer looking, please go ahead. I had issues w/ the "optimized" version being that the neck where it's supposed to bend is so well supported and that breaks the pivot point. The changes I made was I moved the "wall" of neck down to the bottom part of the limiter and took out the base on the bottom that makes the flexible part too rigid. I also filled out the "hook" so that it relieves the pressure from the pivot point. I also took out a bit of the teeth of the limiter that locks in the nub to hold the latch. as it originally was, I had to press the limiter to it's full maximum level to barely have it clear, which I feel like it's a bit overkill. I spent the past day randomly pressing down on the limiter assembled in the frame and it has held up really well so far. All the other parts are the same as the original design. one thing I did change before i sliced the files is to reduce the size of the upper cap to 96% so it would slide into the base a bit easier. Post Processing: I suggest putting in a single tiny drop of super glue inside the round base to help strengthen the connection of the top to the base.
