Zesty Nimble breech latch

cults3d

The breech on my first Zesty Nimble has gotten weak over time from a lot of use (what can I say, it's an awesome product. I'm not affiliated with them, but I don't mind plugging a product that works.). typically, I wouldn't mind dropping a few dollars to buy another breech, but I've had a family emergency that's set me back quite a bit and changed my income for the future... so, I'll get back to supporting the community when I can. In the meantime, I've cooked up this little doohickey that will hold the breech in place and keep it from popping out on its own. It's pretty straight forward and attaches to the Nimble itself. the hook piece goes onto the bolt next to the breech and slides under the latches of the breech. The eye piece fits around the drive cable housing and rests against the side of the nimble, so there shouldn't be any strain on the drive cable. It fits snug, and might require a little sanding. I've only done one print so far with the latch installed, but it's holding fine and doing what it's intended to do. I've included a close-up photo of it installed, and a photo of it laying down some filament beautifully. I've included mirrored versions, in case you have your Nimble oriented opposite of mine. The mirrored versions are not in the Fusion 360 file, though.
