Replacement Latch for Mitsumi D509 Floppy Drive

thingiverse

Someone needed a replacement latch for their floppy drive. I happened to have one so I decided to try making it. The fit is very precise so it may be frustrating if your printer isn't accurate along X or Y axis. The test fit from my Prusa Mini was too snug so I've relaxed it somewhat to make it easier to remove. I've included the full Fusion 360 file so if you're familiar with that tool you'll be able to make your own changes. I would also advise you to print it solid and print two. Try to sheer the stalk of the second one to make sure the layers adhered well because it's easier to gauge that *before* you've put it on the drive. :D
