Spare part for spring operated umbrella

thingiverse

I'm replacing a broken component of my spring-operated umbrella. A small plastic piece snapped off, and now I struggle to keep the umbrella closed without resorting to binding it together. I had to make an educated guess about how the missing part looked because the chipped little plastic piece was nowhere to be found. My next task is figuring out a way to tension the spring since I don't have access to a spring press, and that's no easy feat considering just how strong the spring is. The printed part itself fits nicely as far as I can tell.
