Latch cover for PetMate VariKennel

thingiverse

I got into 3D printing because the latch cover for my dog's kennel broke. One hour later, I had a replacement made with Fusion 360, which I'm still getting used to using. This is why I love 3D printing so much. Images show the original (broken) one, a few revised versions (2mm too long, latch catches did not stick out far enough), and the final result. To make it work properly, supports are needed for the underside of the tabs that stick out to clip onto the kennel, which should break off very easily. I owe my success to Lars Christensen's videos on YouTube for teaching me how to create a basic part.
