RC Hatch Latch

thingiverse

This is a small latch used to replace hatch magnets in models that require their removal. The design includes two main parts: a piece of 1.75mm filament that serves as the axis pin, and a small holder for the pin that can be mounted into the foam to prevent it from moving or loosening over time. To make the filament pin, simply snip off a small length and heat the end over a flame until it's pliable. Then, use a tool to mushroom out the end, giving it a rounded shape. Finally, cut the pin to the desired length. The full build process for this model is available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYsWjANuAm4rDDJ3VmMzTFsQvhWkRrzsV. Safe flying!
