Upper sash window latch lock

thingiverse

I'm replacing a window piece of hardware, but I couldn't find any information on the manufacturer's model number or SKU, nor did I see an exact match at local home improvement stores. Instead, I decided to create my own duplicate using 3D printing technology. After removing some small supports from under the screw holes and the hook, I was able to install the part directly off the printer. It feels incredibly strong, similar to one of the original injection molded parts made with 15% infill density. This is actually one of the first parts I've created using my 3D printer, and it's also the first one I've designed from scratch based on original dimensions.
