Repair - posts for Fridge vent panel catch (Dometic)

Dometic Fridge vent cover catch (Make and repair) Super job by https://www.thingiverse.com/TinkerAddict designing the sliding catch. I printed mine in PLA, with 15% infil, 0.12mm layer height and a brim to help stick such a small part to the bed. The catch fitted great and worked first time. Only trouble was my vent frame had one of the posts damaged, so my make includes two types of replacement posts to enable the two catches to work again if damaged. I included a tall version of the post with a square base, to enable it to fit into the broken fitting. I originally intended to use glue but the thing slid together very easily and the vent panel fits snugly against the motorhome skin. Hope this helps others. Pete Snipe 21 July 2023
